Why choose Persephone for your records?
First developed by Plant Heritage for recording the National Plant Collections, Persephone has grown into a trusted online system for recording the plants in any garden anywhere.
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.

"Not being National Collection Holders, we were 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. 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."

"The level of aftercare we have received from the Persephone team has been 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 before this. With the excellent support, we have been able to build a fairly in-depth understanding of the system and now feel very confident in using the excellent system that is Persephone."
Aron Clay, Senior Gardener at Bishop's Palace, Wells
