Welcome to the website of the Hardy Plant Society Dorset Group. We are a Group of gardening enthusiasts, of all levels of expertise, who enjoy listening to excellent speakers regularly, growing and  buying plants, and visiting beautiful gardens and nurseries. We welcome new members and visitors to all our events. The Group

We are one of the regional groups of the Hardy Plant Society, whose aims include stimulating interest in growing hardy perennials. In fact this year, 2018, is our 20th anniversary year since we were formed, by 21 members breaking away from the Hampshire Group in 1998. Check Our 20th Anniversary for more details about things we are doing this year to celebrate.
