The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) operates as a non-profit trade body for the UK garden industry, coordinating efforts to develop the sector and its member businesses. Based in Chilton, England, its membership spans garden centres and other retailers, growers, landscapers, manufacturers and suppliers. The organization focuses on facilitating collaboration, industry standards, and the overall advancement of the sector. In 2026, HTA expanded its governance by appointing new non-executive directors to the board. It has pursued partnerships and sponsorships, including supporting a new Industry and Association Publication of the Year category at the Garden Media Guild Awards and linking with the British Ornamentals Association to unlock more than £334,000 in grants over three years for environmental horticulture. The association has also participated in notable industry events, such as Flowers and Plants of Europe at Europe House in London.
