Welcome to the Staffordshire group. There are 9 National Collections in our region, everywhere from back gardens to Keele University, the National Memorial Arboretum and Erasmus Darwin's Medicine Chest
There are regular open days to visit the National Collections. We're looking for more people to help organise events and support National Collection holders in the West Midlands. If you're interested, please email membership@plantheritage.org.uk - we'd love to hear from you. Keep an eye out too for events nearby organised by other local groups (let us know if you'd like to be added to their group newsletters).
Remember that as a member of Plant Heritage you can attend events anywhere across the UK, and will receive our Journal twice a year, the National Collections Directory, regular national newsletters and can take part in our conservation schemes including the National Collections, Plant Guardians and Plant Exchange.
