Conserving the diversity of garden plants.

Welcome to Plant Heritage Guernsey.

We are proud to be affiliated to Plant Heritage in the UK.

Guernsey at heart

Here in Guernsey we have around 300 members who enjoy our annual programme of plant sales, lectures, garden visits and the well-established Nerine Festival.

We are keen to conserve plants that thrive or are linked with Guernsey and have several on-going projects.

Key projects

Our projects include an expanding nerine collection, which was designated a National Collection in 2017, pelargoniums and the collection of camellias planted at Government House.
We are also setting up a Caparne Iris collection.
Help is always required and very welcome.

Get involved

We send out a newsletter three times a year and have copies of the Plant Heritage Journal available to collect at our events.

Membership is only £12.00 a year (one or a couple) and many events are free. Why not join us today?

Our current projects

Currently there are four conservation projects:

The Nerine Collection

The Camellia Collection at Government House

The Pelargonium Collection

The setting up of a Caparne Iris Collection

The flowers of Akebia quinata, the chocolate vine, have the most glorious perfume. However it is considered an invasive species in Guernsey and its importation is now banned. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #akebiaquinata

Chasmsnthe at the beginning of the Gibauderie. A wonderful splash of early colour, it grows from corms and is drought tolerant.
