Johnsons Nurseries Ltd is proud to announce that it has achieved the prestigious Plant Healthy Accreditation for the fifth year in a row. This milestone highlights our ongoing commitment to plant health, biosecurity, and sustainability within the horticultural sector.
The Plant Healthy Accreditation is awarded to organisations that meet the rigorous plant health management standards set by the UK Plant Health Assurance Scheme (UKPHAS). Achieving this recognition for five consecutive years reaffirms Johnsons’ dedication to biosecurity best practices and responsible plant care.
As part of this commitment, we provide comprehensive internal plant health training for our staff. This ensures our team members have the knowledge and skills to uphold these high standards year after year.
Protecting woodlands and green spaces from threats such as ash dieback and sudden oak death is critical to safeguarding native species and maintaining resilient ecosystems. At Johnsons, we take this responsibility seriously and continue to invest in practices that protect the wider environment.
Healthy plants are essential to creating thriving gardens and landscapes, but their importance goes far beyond aesthetics. Plants:
Generate the oxygen we breathe 🌱
Absorb carbon dioxide 🌍
Form the foundation of the global food system 🍽️
Without healthy plants, life as we know it simply would not be possible.
Jonathan Whittemore, Commercial and Business Manager at Johnsons Nurseries Ltd, said:
“Reaching our fifth year as a Plant Healthy accredited business is a remarkable achievement for the whole team at Johnsons Nurseries Ltd. It highlights our ongoing efforts to champion plant health and support the resilience of the UK’s horticultural ecosystem. We remain committed to setting high standards for quality, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.”
In addition to this recognition, Johnsons Nurseries Ltd also holds:
BSI ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification
ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification
These accreditations further demonstrate our dedication to sustainable operations and the delivery of superior products and services.
With five consecutive years of Plant Healthy Accreditation, Johnsons Nurseries Ltd continues to position itself at the forefront of the horticultural industry—driving forward plant health, environmental stewardship, and industry-leading quality standards.
