The Horticultural Exhibitors Association
        The HEA supports horticultural exhibitors, both those 
          selling plants and those selling horticultural sundry products. The 
          organisation works with event organisers and show teams to ensure exhibitors 
          are represented as a group rather than individually and works hard to 
          support members with a range of services. 
          Find out more about the organisation here.
        The UK horticultural world needs supporting in the same 
          way as farmers and the HEA has created two schemes with that aim in 
          mind:
        
          
            - Buy with Confidence
- From My Nursery to Your 
              Garden
           
            |  | Buy with Confidence
 This logo indicates that customers can be assured they are purchasing 
                products from bona-fide HEA members operating under an agreed 
                code of conduct.

            |  | From My Nursery to Your Garden Mickfield Hostas is pleased to support, and be 
                a member of, the 'from My Nursery to Your Garden' scheme. Consider 
                this logo in the same way as you regard the little red tractor 
                symbol found on supermarket products, indicating the produce was 
                sourced from UK farmers. When a customer sees the 'from My Nursery 
                to Your Garden' logo they can be assured that at least 75% of 
                plants for sale from members have been grown in the UK.
 
                Participating 
                  nurseries grow and sell their own produce direct to the public. 
                  Therefore you know how and where that plant has been grown and 
                  can speak to the grower direct to discover what it requires 
                  to continue to flourish. 
 Additionally, selling direct to the public 
                  cuts out unnecessary transport and supports the economy in each 
                  nursery's local area.
