UK wholesale nursery Greenwood Plants has been awarded Plant Healthy certification as part of its ongoing commitment to biosecurity.

An audit was conducted of the company’s six nurseries, which span more than 50 hectares across the UK, back in February.

Greenwood handles around six million plants each year across all of its nurseries, as well as growing all of its plants 100% peat-free.

Managing Director of Greenwood Plants, Melanie Asker says: “Ensuring we grow the sector responsibly and sustainability by proactively managing biosecurity, is essential to our future growth potential.”

The primary objective of the Plant Healthy scheme is to reduce the risk of introducing and spreading destructive plant pests through the supply chain, ultimately protecting the horticulture industry and natural habitats.
