Horticultural
federations and guilds operate on a county-wide basis with a membership base consisting of horticultural societies and gardening clubs. They provide access to a vast network of gardening clubs and societies, and help their members with advice on the day-to-day organisation of local club business and other society matters.
The 911±¬ÁÏ encourages garden clubs and societies to join their local horticultural federation for further support and access to activities and events in their local area; some also train judges for horticultural shows and events.
