Plant Heritage Guernsey has several hundred members who enjoy the annual programme of plant sales, lectures, garden visits, as well as the well-established Nerine Festival every autumn. The group is keen to conserve plants that thrive or are linked with Guernsey and have several on-going projects including:

• The Guernsey Nerine National Plant Collection (accredited in 2017) – the island is the home of the Guernsey Lily – Nerine sarniensis.
• Period Clematis planted in Candie Gardens and some 100 varieties of the most vulnerable cultivars kept in the Plant Heritage Guernsey glasshouse.
• A small collection of Caparne Irises, based on William John Caparne's "Intermediate Bearded Irises" introduced to Guernsey between 1898 and 1904.
• We have also recorded the location and varieties of Camellias planted in Candie, Saumarez Park, and in the grounds of Sausmarez Manor – all open to the public.
