Leading online plant retailer behind Hedges Direct and Simply Plants gains nationally recognised Plant Healthy certification
HD Plants Ltd, the company behind leading online retailer Hedges Direct, is proud to announce that it has achieved Plant Healthy certification, the UK's leading plant health management standard.
The certification demonstrates HD Plants Ltd's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of biosecurity, plant sourcing, growing practices and plant health management across its operations.
Developed by the Plant Healthy Alliance, Plant Healthy certification is awarded to businesses that can demonstrate robust systems and processes that minimise the risk of introducing and spreading plant pests and diseases throughout the horticultural supply chain.
As demand for high-quality plants continues to grow, plant health and biosecurity are increasingly important considerations for both gardeners and professional landscapers. Certification provides independent verification that HD Plants Ltd has implemented rigorous measures to protect plant health from supplier to customer.
Martin Chaplin, Head of Horticulture at HD Plants Ltd, comments: "Achieving Plant Healthy certification is an important milestone for our business and reflects the hard work and dedication of our team. Plant health is at the heart of everything we do, and this certification provides customers with additional confidence that the plants they purchase from Hedges Direct and Simply Plants have been sourced, handled and managed in accordance with recognised industry best practice."
The certification further strengthens HD Plants Ltd's position as a trusted supplier of hedging plants, trees, shrubs, and garden plants throughout the UK.
With increasing awareness of the threats posed by plant pests and diseases, the company believes that responsible sourcing and strong biosecurity practices play an important role in protecting gardens, landscapes, and the wider environment.
