An opportunity to obtain seed donated by other members - and send in your own surplus seed. 15 packets of seed for just £4.00 handling charge within the UK.  Seed donors and joint members receive a bigger allocation of seed.

We produce an annual booklet of members' Gardens to Visit, with a list of Village "Garden Open" days throughout the UK. This is sent out with the March magazine.  Sometimes we organise national garden visits for members, if there is sufficient interest.

Locally organised by various Regional Groups, as detailed in the magazine and on Group Websites.

Over 35 regional groups hold their own meetings, visits, and plant sales. We also have a group for dedicated "galanthophiles", the Snowdrop Group, and a lively Correspondence Group.
