Hardy Plant Society

Pulmonaria Group

The Group was formed in 1992 and it has grown steadily since then. We now have members from several countries.

Each year we aim to hold a Pulmonaria Day, which incorporates our AGM. This usually takes place in April. The venue changes each year in order 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.

AIMS of the GROUP

The aims of the Pulmonaria Group include:

• Keeping our members supplied with relevant information on Pulmonarias both in this country and abroad.
• Supporting the work of the National Collection Holder of Pulmonarias. This is held at Stillingfleet near York by Vanessa Cook and is well worth a visit.
• Providing opportunities to acquire Pulmonarias, which may not be readily available.
• Sharing our knowledge and experiences of growing Pulmonarias.

MEMBERSHIP

An annual subscription fee is charged for membership of the Pulmonaria Group. The current rates are:

• UK Members: £3.00 per person
• Overseas Members: £5.00 per person

In addition, as the Pulmonaria Group is registered with the Hardy Plant Society, our members are required to belong to the national HPS.

UK Members pay their subscriptions directly to the Group’s Hon. Secretary or Membership Secretary; Overseas Members find it easier to send their Group subs together with their national subs to the HPS Administrator.

Members receive two copies of the Group Newsletter per year - one in the Spring and one in the Autumn.

We usually ask for contributions towards the cost of our Pulmonaria Days and Group members are given reduced rates.
