East Anglia Regional Event - Whartons Garden Roses
HTA Regional Events
These events offer a chance to connect and engage with fellow HTA members at various venues, learn from industry experts on topics affecting you, and share your voice to make a difference in environmental Horticulture.
Join us on Wednesday 8 July for an exclusive HTA Regional Member Event at one of the UK’s leading rose nurseries.
Enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at rose production, gain practical insights into managing roses in plant areas, and deepen your understanding of how they are grown. You’ll also discover the nursery’s heritage, explore its trials programme, and experience its unique field production operations first-hand.
This is an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow HTA members, celebrate the season, and gain valuable insight in a relaxed and inspiring setting.
And yes — there will be a picnic among the roses (*weather dependent).
We look forward to seeing you there!
