The Alpine Garden Society -

The Society is for anyone interested not just in alpine and rockery plants but also a wide range of hardy plants and bulbs that are suitable for the modern or traditional garden and small space.

Please don't be put off by the name ALPINE. Many members, including ourselves, grow an eclectic selection of plants, especially the smaller herbaceous plants, including plants suitable for shady conditions, dry sunny sites plus a wide range of hardy and not so hardy bulbs.

There is an excellent colour Journal and Newsletter, a wide selection of books at discounted prices to members, a seed exchange, shows at 26 venues throughout the U. K., workshops, the Societies own garden at Pershore College and many local groups where you can meet some lovely people who will share your interest and passion for plants and gardens.
