Many of our once loved garden plants are quietly vanishing forever. We keep rare plants growing…
The group is holding its August Plant Fair at Hethersett Village Hall. With exhibitors from nurseries from around East Anglia and farther afield. It’s a great way to buy reasonably priced, good quality plants on Sunday 27th August, 10am-1pm. There is always a “Plant Doctor” available to advise on all things horticultural.
As plants fall out of fashion or are superseded, vital genetic traits could simply vanish, unless they are taken into care and shared with others. If the expertise to grow and propagate them is also lost, our ability to properly conserve our unique garden flora is placed under significant threat.The Norfolk Plant Heritage Group (www.norfolkplantheritage.org.uk) is committed to encouraging its members to grow historic, unusual and threatened plants, to share plants with other members, to help preserve genetic material and biodiversity and to ensure a rich horticultural environment for future generations: conservation through cultivation.
