The garden centre environment presents a great opportunity to talk to our core audience for gardening enthusiasts when gardening is top of mind."

HTA director of marketing Andrew Maxted said: "We are delighted to be working with the RHS on this promotion, which will benefit garden retailers and encourage more gardeners to support the RHS as a charity. The RHS membership pack will appeal both to keen gardeners and those looking for a thoughtful gift for friends or family."
