​As a Dorset HPS member you can:-

• enjoy free admission to all (unless occasionally otherwise indicated) our speaker meetings at Colehill Village Hall
• buy a ticket for our annual Celebrity Guest Speaker talk. (In the past few years we have brought Pippa Greenwood, James Alexander Sinclair, Mary Payne, Rosy Hardy, Fergus Garrett, Helen Yemm and Tom Hart Dyke to Dorset.)
• share your gardening knowledge and learn from our many experienced members at the meetings
• the opportunity to buy well priced plants that are often not the regular 'run of the mill' plants that you find at your local garden centre. Additionally, our speakers often bring specialist plants for sale after their talks
• the opportunity to sell and make money from your own plants at our meetings and at our annual Plant Fair
• come on our trips and visits to gardens both local and further afield, enjoying the company of like minded gardeners, to some unusual venues
• our 'Newsletter' sent out just before each speaker meeting to keep you up-to-date

​So why not come and join us?
