Leave a Gift in your Will

Leaving a legacy to Plant Heritage

The National Plant Collections^® are a vital living library that benefits us all. Each National Collection can be the work of a lifetime - or more. Today's collectors are building on decades and perhaps hundreds of years of expert breeding and careful nurturing. We work to protect the plants, and the information about the plants, which we store securely in our award winning plant records system Persephone.

As a small charity, we rely on our members and donors to fund our work. You can help us to ensure that future generations benefit from this work by leaving a gift to Plant Heritage in your will.

In recent years, generous legacies have helped us to invest for the future, including: 

• expanding and improving our plant records system, Persephone, which now records information about more than two-thirds of National Collections and all Plant Guardian plants. 
• updating our website and our office IT systems, so they are easier to use and more secure, as well as saving significant staff time (which is vital with such a small team).
• do more publicity and hold more events, to support our existing members and also to reach out to new people who we hope will become members and supporters in future.

There is plenty more we want to do, including to create an online version of the National Plant Collections, so people all over the world can enjoy them and learn about them, along with the stories about the people behind the plants. Can you help us by donating today, or leaving a legacy in your will?
