CONNECTICUT CHAPTER - Hardy Plant Society

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 in        
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
Wednesdayof the month except November and December when the meetings are held on the third
Wednesday.  There is no meeting in February.  A coffee hour precedes the meetings.  The December
meeting also includes a holiday celebration.  At meetings there is often a raffle and/or auction of donated
plants.

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.

The Hardy Plant Society was formed in 1994 and has since incorporated, achieving 501 (c) (3), non-profit
status.
