HTA chief executive Carol Paris told GCA delegates about the Garden Industry Marketing Board, a cross industry initiative to promote gardening and encourage visits to garden centres.

Carol outlined the promotional calendar for 2014, containing events aimed at boosting public interest in gardening.
