They provide standards and a support network for professionals and individuals who are keen to keep a wide variety of plants in cultivation under their correct names.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plant Heritage strive to secure the future of garden plants which are at risk of vanishing from commercial outlets. \u00a0They may be unfashionable, difficult to grow or propagate and can become commercially unviable.<\/p>\n

Members form a network of local groups around the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland and are encouraged to grow rare and unusual plants.<\/p>\n

Members have access to talks, workshops and demonstrations and visit gardens, nurseries and National Plant Collections.<\/p>\n

Plant Heritage are also looking for members to become holders of National collections for plants which are not currently on the national Collection scheme, such as Achillea, Peruvian Lilies and Lobelia, among others.<\/p>\n

Plant Heritage is a much easier name to remember and sounds less formal than the original long winded title, so maybe the change will bring them into the 21st Century and the recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n
