PLANT HERITAGE - Home of the 'National Collections' of Garden Plants
Plant Heritage is . . .
The world’s leading garden plant conservation charity, bringing together the talents of botanists, horticulturalists and conservationists and the dedication of keen amateur and professional gardeners.
Through the National Plant Collections and the Threatened Plants Project, we encourage the conservation of cultivated plants in the British Isles.
What is a National Plant
Collection®?
Plant Heritage's (NCCPG's) mission is to conserve, grow, propagate, document and make available the amazing resource of cultivated plants
that exists in the UK. The reason we feel this is important is covered on the Why Conserve Plants? page.
Our main conservation vehicle is the Plant Heritage National Plant Collection® scheme where individuals or organisations undertake to document, develop and preserve a comprehensive collection of one group of plants in trust for the future. Most of the collections are based around a related group, for example a collection of oaks or daffodils. This allows the scheme to develop systematic coverage of cultivated plants in the United Kingdom.
Open Days
All Collections are required to be open to the public at some time, but some have restricted access. Listings of Open Days appear in the
National Collections Directory, and under the events section of the website.
The National Gardens Scheme
The National Gardens Scheme. Over 3800 NGS gardens to visit with the best of plants, flowers and garden design (including National Trust). Open your garden for Charity!
