The deadline for the ornamental grower survey has been extended to the 20th of January 2025.

We invite you to take part in an important survey of ornamental commercial growers. This will improve our understanding of the barriers to, and costs of, reporting notifiable pests and diseases and how reporting could be encouraged.

The survey results will help us to identify any potential improvements to the reporting process and incident management. For example, these improvements could include helping you to detect and identify notifiable pests and diseases and providing support to businesses when incidents occur.         

The link to the survey is: https://www.online-host.solutions/ASP/P026120. It should take around 20 minutes to complete and participation is voluntary. The deadline for responding is midnight on Monday 20th January.

This survey is being conducted by Blue marble Research on behalf of Fera Science Ltd, and the project is supported by Defra and the Horticultural Trades Association.
