The Chartered Institute of Horticulture (CIH) is a British professional association for horticulture.
Horticulture is not a regulated profession in the United Kingdom. However, professionals can seek Chartership to become a "Chartered Horticulturist". This is a protected title overseen by the CIH.[1]
The Horticultural Education Association, founded in 1905, was absorbed into the Institute of Horticulture in 1984.[2]
The Institute of Horticulture received a royal charter on 21 July 2014.[3]
