The Flowers & Plants Association was formed in 1984.
They are the UK's promotional organisation for all commercially grown cut flowers and indoor plants.
They carry out generic promotion - that is, they do not advertise brand names. They are an unbiased, non-commercial source of expert advice. They represent the whole floriculture industry and work on behalf of their members, who voluntarily fund the promotions they do.
