Plant Healthy Certification Scheme
Plant Healthy is a voluntary certification scheme that helps you show that you are managing plant health risks responsibly, minimising the risk of introducing and spreading damaging plant pests and diseases.
This page explains why certification matters, what it involves, and how becoming certified helps protect your business, your customers and the wider environment.
Helping safeguard your business and our landscape from harmful plant pests and diseases
The Plant Healthy Certification Scheme helps you minimise the risk of introducing and spreading harmful plant pests and diseases if you grow, trade or manage plants.
Whether you are a grower, landscaper, arborist, retailer, trader, or manage a large garden, the scheme supports you in managing plant health responsibly and meeting recognised biosecurity standards.
By becoming certified, you show customers, suppliers and regulators that you take plant health and biosecurity seriously and that you work to recognised best-practice standards.
Why become Plant Healthy certified?
Plant Healthy certification can help you:
- Minimise the risk of costly pest and disease outbreaks
- Protect the environment and your reputation
- Demonstrate credibility and build trust
- Show customers and buyers that you take plant health seriously
- Improve your internal plant health management systems and efficiency
- Meet growing public-sector and grant requirements
Biosecurity is increasingly seen as part of good corporate responsibility, much like health and safety. Once certified, you can use the Plant Healthy logo as a trusted mark to demonstrate your commitment to protecting plant health.
