The Regional Events offer members of the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) the opportunity to build connections with local peers, access expert insights on critical industry topics, exchange best practices, and engage directly with their regional member engagement managers.

“Our regional member events offer HTA members an exceptional platform to network, learn from industry leaders, and share ideas with each other. Each event will be an inspiring, informative and enjoyable day out, with visits to horticultural businesses across the country. I strongly encourage every member to attend and discover the immense value of collaboration and community from these events,” said Tim Bell, HTA Head of Member Engagement

Scheduled by season; Winter (January to March 2025), Spring & Summer (April to September 2025) and Autumn (October to December 2025) the events have been designed to provide a useful forum to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry. With a focus on collaboration and innovation, the regional events underline HTA’s commitment to supporting its members to nurture a thriving horticultural sector.

Martin Simmons, HTA Regional Manager for Central England and Yorkshire said; “I am particularly excited to host three of the first meetings of 2025 which are happening at Taylor’s Bulbs, in Spalding, on 15 January, RHS Harlow Carr Garden on 3 February, and Hozelock Ltd in Sutton Coldfield, on 11 March. These free-to-attend events include lunch and will cover essential topics such as sustainability, carbon measurement, cross-border trade, and biosecurity. We can’t wait to welcome you.”
