In the Office

The National Office is located in a modest building huddled against the garden wall of Loseley House, a beautiful historic house near Guildford in Surrey.

From here the small team, mostly part-timers, work hard to handle membership enquiries, charm sponsors, administer the Collections Scheme, kick start the Threatened Plant Project, publish members' books, write newsletters and Journals, run workshops, liaise with other conservation organisations, help the media, orchestrate the Hampton Court Marquee, consolidate the accounts, and juggle a thousand other tasks.

The team is led by Genevieve Melbourne Webb, the Executive Officer, currently on maternity leave. Mercy Morris is the Plant Conservation Officer; and Acting Executive Officer in Genevieve's absence, and Joanna Jones spearheads our fundraising efforts. Gill Groombridge and Gillian Spencer manage membership and run our merchandising activities, while Judith Wiles handles the accounting. Publicity and media relations are the responsibility of Nicola Savage, who also looks after the new website.

We welcome volunteers! Please get in touch if you would like to contribute your skills and enthusiasm to a worthy cause.
