Local Group

The London Group of Plant Heritage has over 200 members, and is home to a diverse range of 20 National Plant Collections.

We meet regularly for talks, plant sales and garden visits throughout the year.  New members are very welcome - if you are interested in joining please contact us, see details below.

We recently visited Mona Abboud's amazing garden in London to see the National Plant Collection of Corokia and enjoyed chatting about all things plants with other local Plant Heritage members. We are planning on visiting other special gardens and welcome suggestions.

We run two plant fairs a year - the last Saturday in April and the first Saturday in September, both in Highgate (see the events page for details). We are planning to run a workshop on plant propagation and grow plants for the spring fair - would you like to join us? 

Even if you don't have a garden, you are still very welcome. We are just as passionate about houseplants, and plants for allotments and community gardens. As well as the well-known National Plant Collection scheme, Plant Heritage also runs the Plant Guardian scheme which means any member can get involved in plant conservation by looking after just one or a few rare or unusual plants.
