About Us

We are the Hardy Plant Society, Nottingham Group and at National and local level our aim is to spread enjoyment and knowledge about growing hardy plants. Our speciality is plants that survive over winter when they generally die back and reappear the following year.  We are fortunate to have a small walled garden in the grounds of Wollaton Park, Nottingham, to showcase these plants. It is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons from spring until autumn and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings when small groups of volunteers do the gardening. 

There are plants for sale, competitively priced, mostly propagated within the garden and sometimes grown by members at home. They have a very very low carbon footprint! We have used peat free compost for several years and re-use plant pots donated to us by members and friends. Our planting encourages lots of insect life. 

We are a friendly bunch and love people to visit our garden and come to our evening talks in winter. Members have different levels of experience and our aim is to continue to learn together whether we have a longstanding love of growing or are in the early stages of a new interest. Enjoy browsing the website to find out more about us and how to get in touch if you have any questions.
