Hampshire Hardy Plant Society 2
Welcome
The Hampshire Group of the Hardy Plant Society is an active group of people who have a special interest in gardening with hardy perennial plants. Some of our members are very experienced with a wide knowledge of all garden plants but many are budding enthusiasts eager to learn. Everyone is welcome to join the Group.
We run monthly meetings, organise visits to members gardens, publish a regular newsletter and offer day trips and short holidays to visit gardens and nurseries. We also run a Conservation Group and a plant propagation day.
