PlantNetwork Plant Health Guidelines


In July 2004, PlantNetwork held a workshop, for staff in botanic and heritage gardens, at the Eden Project: Foreign Bugs: Managing Pests and Diseases in a World of Increasing Imports. After the meeting, there were calls from several organisations for guidance on complying with international legislation and implementing quarantine and import procedures. The Plant Health Officers Helen Long (then at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew), Fiona Inches (Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) and Katie Treseder (Eden Project) agreed to pool their collective experience and produce a set of guidelines that could be adopted, in whole or in part, by these institutions.

These guidelines are available as a hard-copy A5 booklet at £2.50 per copy, from Judy Cheney, PlantNetwork Administrator, c/o University Computing Service, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3QH, UK. OR as a downloadable pdf document.

PlantNetwork is grateful to the John Spedan Lewis Foundation for funding the publication and distribution of this booklet.
