Why become a member?
The Institute of Horticulture is the only organisation that can truly claim to bring together all professionals involved with every aspect and facet of the diverse industry that is horticulture. There are organisations concerned with such specialist areas as plant propagation, bedding plant production, golf greenkeeping – and many more - but most horticulturists, whatever the career path they have chosen within horticulture, see themselves as part of the broader industry and have much in common with, and much they want to share with, their colleagues in other areas of horticulture.
The Institute provides the opportunity to associate with those colleagues through technical and social gatherings, through its publications, on its website and through schemes such as the mentoring and CPD initiatives currently being developed by the Institute.
Membership of the Institute, and the recognition of the professional standards members must achieve to use the letters FI Hort, MI Hort and AI Hort after their names, provides a unifying force that draws together horticulturists who may be pursuing very different career paths. That’s why the Institute can boast that it is “uniting a growing profession”
