英国 HTA 园艺行业协会 – 自 1899 年起代表英国园艺行业

面向英国园艺代表服务的行业协会

英国园艺行业协会（The Horticultural Trades Association，简称 HTA）是英国园艺领域最常见的行业协会之一，1899 年成立于伦敦，以公司担保形式注册。公司编号 00169606。会员范围覆盖花园中心、种植者、园艺用品制造商与供应商、景观设计师及服务提供商。

协会长期代表会员与英国各级政府、媒体及欧盟植物检疫部门打交道，主推「环境园艺宣言」、UK-EU SPS 协议等政策议题；同时通过英国花园礼品券、Preferred Partners 优惠采购、行业月报等形式，帮会员拓展客源、降低运营成本。

百年沿革与国家级礼品卡

HTA 自 1899 年起代表英国园艺行业，至今已超过 120 年历史。其下设的「景观设计师分会（Association of Professional Landscapers，简称 APL）」专门面向景观设计与施工从业者，是英国景观行业的重要资质与培训平台。

1962 年推出的英国花园礼品券（National Garden Gift Card，简称 NGGC）是英国运行时间最长的花园消费促销项目，每年带动约两百万 人次进入花园中心和零售苗圃，惠及英国大量园艺爱好者。

五类会员资格与服务体系

HTA 设有五类会员资格，分别是零售商会员（Retailer Membership）、种植者会员（Grower Membership）、景观设计师会员（Landscaper Membership，即 APL 分会）、制造商与供应商会员（Manufacturer & Supplier Membership）、以及准会员（Associate Membership），不同类别享受相应的服务与权益。

协会为会员提供 HTA eLearning Hub 在线学习平台、Preferred Partners 优惠采购协议、Market Update 月度市场报告等具体服务；同时定期组织区域分会活动、政策研讨会、行业展会及培训课程，是英国园艺产业链日常运营不可缺的支撑平台。

行业研究与政策倡导

协会发布的环境园艺宣言（Environmental Horticulture Manifesto），围绕城市绿化、树木降温、植物健康等议题，向英国政府提出十项优先政策建议；同时与 Defra（环境、食品与农村事务部）、英国环境园艺团体联盟保持密切协作。

在贸易政策层面，HTA 是推动 2025 年 5 月 19 日 UK-EU 卫生与植物检疫（SPS）协议达成的主力之一，使园艺植物产品被纳入新合作框架，是近十年来英国园艺植物贸易最大的利好政策之一。

年度会议与行业活动

HTA 每年举办英国园艺大会（Horticulture Conference），是英国园艺产业链一年一度的行业聚会。2026 年大会在伦敦 Barbican Centre 召开，是行业思想领袖汇聚的代表性场合。同期设有 APL Awards、区域会员聚会、行业政策研讨会等系列活动。

此外，协会参与 Brand Powermill、花园环境、园艺管理、Plant Healthy 等专项项目，并与英国各级政府合作推动 Broad Horizons 等行业人才发展计划。

A UK Trade Association for the Horticultural Industry

The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) is one of the most established trade associations for the UK horticultural industry. Founded in 1899 and registered in London as a company limited by guarantee (company number 00169606), HTA represents garden retailers, growers, manufacturers and suppliers, landscapers and service providers across the United Kingdom.

The association represents members’ interests to government and media, runs the long-running National Garden Gift Card scheme, and provides market reports, training and partnership programmes to help its members grow their businesses.

Over a Century of History and the National Garden Gift Card

Established in 1899, HTA has been serving the UK horticultural industry for more than 120 years. Within HTA sits the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL), a dedicated division for landscape design and construction professionals and one of the main professional bodies for the UK landscape sector.

The National Garden Gift Card (NGGC), launched in 1962, is the longest-running garden consumer gift card programme in the UK. It drives roughly two million visits to garden centres and retail nurseries each year, and remains a familiar gift choice for British gardeners.

Five Membership Categories and Member Services

HTA offers five membership categories: Retailer Membership, Grower Membership, Landscaper Membership (APL), Manufacturer & Supplier Membership, and Associate Membership. Each category comes with its own set of benefits and member services.

Member services include the HTA eLearning Hub, the Preferred Partners purchasing scheme and monthly industry market reports. The association also runs regional networking events, policy webinars, training workshops and trade shows that are central to the day-to-day operation of the UK horticultural supply chain.

Industry Research and Policy Advocacy

HTA’s Environmental Horticulture Manifesto sets out ten policy priorities for any future UK government, covering urban greening, trees and urban heat, plant health and sustainable practice. The association works closely with Defra and other UK environmental horticulture groups.

On trade policy, HTA was one of the leading voices in securing the UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement reached on 19 May 2025, which for the first time explicitly covers plants and plant products and is widely seen as one of the most significant trade developments for the industry in a decade.

Annual Conference and Industry Events

HTA runs the annual Horticulture Conference, the flagship gathering for the UK horticultural supply chain. The 2026 conference was held at the Barbican Centre in London and brings together industry leaders for a day of discussion and networking. The calendar also includes the APL Awards, regional member events and policy webinars.

HTA is also involved in Plant Healthy, the Environmental Horticulture group and the Broad Horizons talent development programme, working with UK government and industry partners to develop the next generation of horticulture professionals.
