Can I renew an existing membership online?
Yes. Select the membership categories to renew, proceed to the checkout and enter your existing membership number when prompted. For your security, we do not hold your name and address details on our web site, therefore you will be asked to enter your name and address details alongside your membership number for confirmation purposes.

Can I become a member if I live outside the UK?
Yes you can. There is an additional charge of £5.00 to cover the cost of posting your membership pack.
Can I enrol a friend as a Garden Organic/HSL member?
By all means! Membership of Garden Organic and/or HSL would make a lovely gift.
Select the type of membership, take the Pay Now option, select the shipping destination country and enter your details for the invoice address. Then check the box asking if the membership is to be delivered to a different address.
Fill in your friend's address details. Then, in the Gift membership? box, enter the word 'GIFT' plus any message you would like to be enclosed with their membership pack. The membership pack will then be sent to your friend in their name.
Will my details be passed on to any other company?
Absolutely NOT! Please read our privacy policy if you have any concerns.
