That this House congratulates the businesses behind the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, from landscapers to garden designers, growers to manufacturers; recognises that Environmental Horticulture contributes £38 billion to UK GDP every year and supports more than 722,000 good green jobs; notes that green infrastructure, our gardens, parks, green spaces, and street trees, deliver huge climate benefits, helping to cool our cities, reduce flood risk, remove air pollutants as well as providing social spaces for communities and boosting the nation’s health and wellbeing, while noting the ongoing cost challenges facing the many small, family-owned businesses that make the show such a success; and calls on the Government to recognise the many benefits that the sector can deliver across multiple departmental policy areas while reducing regulatory and cost pressures on the sector.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions he has had with the Royal Horticultural Society on the environmental impact of the Chelsea Flower Show in terms of reaching net zero.
Defra Ministers and officials undertake a wide range of discussions with stakeholders on the UK achieving its net zero ambitions. Whilst the Chelsea Flower Show is a key annual event in the horticultural calendar, its environmental impact has not been a topic covered in ministerial discussions with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). The RHS has recently published its sustainability strategy, which includes its target to be net climate positive by 2030.

The Food and Environment Research Agency's garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2013 is entitled ‘Stop the Spread’. It will deliver strong messages to the public on the scope for behaviour change to make a significant impact on the prevention and identification of pests and pathogens that could affect our trees, including the threat from non-native species.
This is just one element of a campaign of public and stakeholder communication regarding tree health and plant biosecurity which also includes films on phytophthora, the OPAL Tree Health survey, new biosecurity protocols and posters, forest health days and ‘Train the Trainer’ events. Many of these are cost-neutral or co-funded with various partners across industry, non-governmental organisations and UK national governments.
All of these activities are aimed at addressing threats which have huge potential to change how our landscape looks, severely damage our biodiversity and wildlife, and can have significant impacts on the British economy.
The expected cost for the design and build is £95,000 largely funded by DEFRA with contributions from Forestry Commission, Welsh Government, Scottish Government and the Timber and Pallet Federation.
