Events include a Specialist Plant Fair at Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens, to which we invite a range of local nurseries and plant related craft stalls. We also have plant stalls selling members’ plants at events around our region, plus occasional trips to gardens and nurseries. 

We encourage members to be active participants in plant conservation by growing one or more plants from the National Collection of Physocarpus that we hold as a group.

We also run an active plant propagation group to provide stock for our plant stalls and increase the availability of rare plants.  Our members participate in the Plant Heritage Plant Exchange and the Plant Guardian Scheme.

We have our own Facebook group too
