Why choose Persephone for your records?
First developed by Plant Heritage in 2013 for recording the National Plant Collections®, Persephone 2.0 (launched 2022) has grown into a trusted online system for recording the plants in any garden, anywhere. With a steadily expanding subscriber base, it is designed to be intuitive for volunteers while remaining powerful and flexible enough for professionals working in large or complex gardens. Key features include robust synonym management, tracking of nomenclature changes over time, standard plant and accession fields, and customisable note fields. Users can also generate tailored reports and exports.
Four monthly subscription rates are available, based on the number of plants you want to record. We are experienced in data transfer from other systems and provide comprehensive support throughout.
Plant Societies and International Cultivar Registration Authorities (ICRAs) can apply for a discounted rate – please contact us and we can tailor a package to your needs.

"Not being National Collection Holders we are in the first cohort using Persephone on subscription to catalogue trees and woody shrubs (some rare) in a 12 acre private garden. Persephone is the dream tool for the job. Usability has clearly been designed into it from the bottom up and I don’t believe there is any other software application with a quality of support that even comes close. And as the whole thing is web-based, with the ability to grant password controlled read-only guest access, garden visitors can look up plant information by searching on an accession number. No more labelling woes. Objective achieved."
Alexander Scott, Gelston Castle Estate
"The level of aftercare that we have received from the Persephone support team has been truly above and beyond all expectations. We have been cataloguing the plant collection at The Bishops Palace using Persephone and I have been working alongside a volunteer who’s had no experience of such databases prior to this. With the excellent support via various Zoom meetings, we have both been able to build a fairly in depth understanding of the system and now feel very confident in use…of the excellent recording system that is Persephone."
Aron Clay, Senior Gardener at Bishop's Palace, Wells
