Welcome to the Hardy Plant Society
Sanguinaria canadensis f. multiplex
The HARDY PLANT SOCIETY (HPS) of New England, Connecticut Chapter is a
friendly and informal gathering of plant lovers. The stated purpose of HARDY
PLANT SOCIETY is to cultivate and promote interest in plants that are hardy in
New England from the tiniest herbaceous plants to giant trees and all between. As
our membership draws from a broad range of interests the exchange of ideas and
knowledge among our group is dynamic!
HPS holds a series of evening lectures from September to April. These meetings are
held on the fourth Wednesday of the month except November and December when
they are held on the third Wednesday. There is no lecture in February. A coffee
hour precedes all events, starting at 7:00PM. The December meeting also includes a
holiday celebration. Often there is a raffle and/or auction of donated plants prior to
the lecture.
Our group presents the HARDY PLANT SYMPOSIUM held on the first Saturday in
March. We host two speakers in an all-day affair. This event is always interesting
and informative. And a lunch consisting of soups and breads is provided by
members who really know how to cook!
We invite you to join HARDY PLANT SOCIETY. The annual dues are $25 for a single
membership and $30 for a family membership. The membership year begins
September 1 and ends August 31.
HPS was formed in 1994 and has since incorporated, achieving 501 (c) (3),
non-profit status.
