Pulmonaria

The Group was formed in 1992 and it has grown steadily since then. We now have members from several countries. The aims of the Pulmonaria Group include:

• keeping our members supplied with relevant information on pulmonarias both in this country and abroad;
• providing opportunities to acquire pulmonarias, which may not be readily available;
• sharing our knowledge and experiences of growing pulmonarias.

Activities

Each year we aim to hold a Pulmonaria Day, which incorporates our AGM. This usually takes place in April. The venue changes each year to try and cater for members from most parts of the UK. Whenever possible, we try to invite members from the local HPS Group of the area to participate in our Pulmonaria Days.

Pulmonaria Group Meeting and AGM 2024

The Group 2024 meeting will be on 13th April at Ravensthorpe Village Hall, near Coton in Northamptonshire. The meeting will include a talk by Joe Sharman who was heavily involved with the Pulmonaria Group in its early days. In the afternoon there will be a visit to Coton Manor and Nursery close by. For a booking form please contact the Membership Secretary, Barry Street by emailing barryclive.street@gmail.com
