Local Group

Welcome to our Group pages.   Our county is host to a range of National Collections held in such diverse locations as private and open gardens, National Trust Properties and in the grounds of a public school.  Our group meets from September to April (inclusive) on the second Thursday of the month, 7pm for 7.30pm,  at The Dorford Centre, Bridport Road, Dorchester. 


 

Our meetings consist of a talk or slide show with the added attractions of refreshments, members' plant sales and a plant identification table.

You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter (see icons below).

Entry to our meetings is free for members of Plant Heritage and visitors are welcome for a small entry fee of £5, students £3.

Parking for meetings is at The Top of Town car park virtually opposite The Dorford Centre and is free after 6pm.
