Authorised Distance Plant Sellers (APHA)
The Animal and Plant Health Agency authorises businesses in Great Britain that sell plants at a distance, by mail order or online, under the plant health rules, and publishes the list of authorised sellers with each seller's customer reference. Authorisation is a licence to trade, not a quality mark; the list says who may sell plants at a distance, not how they grow them.
