We are an affiliated group of Plant Heritage. Anyone who is interested in Ireland's plants can become a member, whether you live in Ireland or overseas
The Irish Garden Plant Society holds a National Collection of plants with an Irish connection, either bred or discovered in Ireland, introduced by an Irish person, or linked to an Irish garden or gardener. This is a dispersed collection held in the gardens of many members and several public gardens.
- We take the lead in researching, finding and propagating Irish plants to ensure their survival
- We research great Irish gardens and garden history
- We have a hands-on role in a number of garden restoration projects
- We actively promote Irish horticulture, with recognition for our exhibits at major international shows, including the RHS Chelsea Flower Show
- Last but not least, we enjoy Irish gardens through regular talks, lectures, workshops and garden visits
