Local Group

Abutilon 'Leila Jackson'

Our Group brings together an eclectic mix of people, drawn to plants from a range of different interests: from art to botany, or just a love of plants in a sumptuous garden setting

Read on to find out more.

Herefordshire is home to 9 National Plant Collections spanning Acer to Zelkova. Some are held in well-known open gardens, others are held privately by plant enthusiasts. Group members are also encouraged to support plant conservation by becoming Plant Guardians, looking after one or a few plants that have become rare in horticulture, or taking part in the annual Plant Exchange

Our members meet several times throughout the year for visits to private gardens where we have the privilege to discuss them with their owners. We usually have an autumn/winter lecture and our summer party is not to be missed. Find all the events here. New members are very welcome to join us at any event. We send a newsletter to all members twice a year, in addition to the newsletters sent by the charity nationally. 

If you are interested in joining the group, or want to know more about what we are doing, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
