The Hardy Plant Society, Mid-Atlantic Group membership includes passionate like-minded gardeners and many of the major plant growers and breeders as well as major public gardens and arboretums in the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. Our members participate in workshops, lectures and receive newsletters with articles by well-known garden writers. We hold a Members-Only Open Garden Day with Reception, Fall Gardeners’ Market, All-Day Spring Symposium and Seed Exchange. We arrange shopping days at area wholesale nurseries at wholesale prices. In addition, members can choose to open their gardens for tours to fellow members through our directory. We offer ‘Pop Up’ events throughout the year. We collaborate with area institutions to bring lectures and programs to our audience that increase their knowledge of horticulture and the institutions that support that interest. We offer both domestic and international garden-tour trips.
