Adam joins us to help shine a spotlight on the importance of plant health across the UK and the role you play in protecting the plants, landscapes and environments we all care about.
As a respected voice within horticulture and a familiar face to gardeners nationwide through Gardeners' World, Adam brings both credibility and passion to this role. He shares key messages, supports campaigns and helps raise awareness of the simple, practical steps that reduce the risk of serious plant pests and diseases.
Adam says: “As gardeners, the choices we make matter more than we realise. Plant Healthy is about protecting the plants we love and the wider environment by supporting businesses that are helping to minimise the spread of pests and diseases. It’s a positive way for all of us to play a part.”
Plant Healthy works with growers, retailers, landscapers and designers to minimise the risk of introducing and spreading harmful plant pests and diseases through its independently audited Plant Health Management Standard. It also helps plant lovers and gardeners make confident, responsible choices when buying plants, showing you how your decisions support plant health and protect the wider environment.
Plant health has never been more important. Rising global trade, increased travel and climate pressures mean the risks from plant pests and diseases continue to grow. That’s why your actions, and the choices you make, whether you are a grower, retailer, landscaper, designer or gardener, make a real difference.
Our Project Director, Malcolm Catlin, says: “Adam is highly respected by both the trade and the public. His voice helps raise the profile of plant health and the role Plant Healthy plays in protecting gardens, landscapes and livelihoods. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Plant Healthy community.”
With Adam’s support, we continue to broaden engagement across the sector and reach more people with practical, positive ways for you to be Plant Healthy.
Together, we can be Plant Healthy
