Help us protect our Plant Heritage

By becoming a member, you'll get access to exclusive benefits including talks, visits, workshops, rare and unusual plants and our prestige publications - the Journal and National Collections Directory. 

You will also help us to conserve more special plants for the future. You are welcome to get directly involved and there are lots of opportunities, including the National Plant Collections and the Plant Guardian scheme - but it's not compulsory. Your membership supports our work. Together, we are protecting nearly 100,000 plants for the future, which is good for us and good for biodiversity.
