Throughout the year there is a wide range of events hosted by local group members, from plant study days to residential weekends to garden visits.
The society is working towards ensuring that older, rarer and lesser-known perennial plants are conserved and made available to gardeners generally.
The Correspondents Group enables members who are unable to attend meetings to remain in touch with one another and exchange gardening ideas and information.
The society publishes a series of booklets on a range of hardy plants including Geraniums, Peonies and Hostas.
http://www.hardy-plant.org.uk/publications/booklets The Hardy Plant Society offers a number of small bursaries, for students and for people who are employed in horticulture, to enable them to develop their knowledge and understanding.
Grants are usually made to support travel and subsistence costs for project work or study modules on topics broadly related to the society's aims and objectives.
