associations & societies
The RHS is the UK’s leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture and promoting gardening.
The British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) was established in 1972 to provide a voice for landscapers and, most importantly, to raise standards throughout the industry.
The Flowers & Plants Association was formed in 1984. They are the UK's promotional organisation for all commercially grown cut flowers and indoor plants. They carry out generic promotion - that is, they do not advertise brand names. They are an unbiased, non-commercial source of expert advice. They represent the whole floriculture industry and work on behalf of their members, who voluntarily fund the promotions they do.
