Claire Perry visits Woodborough Garden Centre

On the 7th May, I visited the Woodborough Garden Centre, a member of the Horticultural Trades Association. As a keen gardener, I really enjoyed having a look at all the fantastic plants on offer and also talking to the owner, Claire Rourke, about the issues facing the horticulture industry. I have also had similar conversations with the HTA about important horticultural topics, such as the current R&D funding problems for ornamentals. These conversations certainly gave me a wider appreciation for the issues of the horticulture and gardening industry and I will continue to follow them with interest.
