The HTA was founded in 1899; an organisation formed by its members, for members. Their main aim, to represent horticultural tradesmen to deal with the issues they faced as an industry, still drives us today. The new organisation enabled united action in matters such as, railway rates, foreign competition, and taxation. When 60 men gathered at Garden Hall in 1899, they could never have known how what they started would grow and adapt.
