At Johnsons, we are proud to be Plant Healthy Certified, a status that reflects our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of plant health and biosecurity. To further enhance our efforts, we have introduced a series of Plant Health Training Sessions running from September to December. These sessions are designed to equip our team with the knowledge and skills to identify, report, and manage any potential plant health issues, ensuring that we continue to grow and trade plants of the highest quality.
As a leading horticultural business, we recognize the critical role we play in protecting not only our stock but also the broader industry from the threat of destructive pests and diseases. By investing in plant health training, we are actively reducing the risk of introducing or spreading harmful pests and ensuring our plants thrive in a safe and healthy environment.
Why These Training Sessions Matter
Our Plant Health Training Sessions are tailored to employees who work directly with our plants, providing them with the tools to recognize early signs of plant health concerns. The training covers everything from pest identification and disease prevention to the best practices for reporting issues promptly. This hands-on knowledge is vital in maintaining the quality of our plants and protecting the biosecurity of our entire operation.
Maintaining Our Commitment to Plant Healthy Certification
Being Plant Healthy Certified isn’t just about recognition – it’s about responsibility. At Johnsons, we take this responsibility seriously. These training sessions are a key part of our ongoing commitment to upholding the standards required by our certification. By empowering our staff to act as plant health guardians, we are not only protecting our reputation but also contributing to the long-term health and sustainability of the horticultural industry.
Looking Ahead
With these training sessions, Johnsons is taking another proactive step towards ensuring that our plants remain healthy and that we continue to lead the way in biosecurity. We believe that by investing in the skills and knowledge of our team, we can create a safer, more sustainable future for our business and the industry as a whole.
