The AGS is also involved in the study and conservation of alpine plants in the wild. Our events and activities are all designed to achieve these goals.

The Alpine Garden Society is one of the world's largest plant societies, primarily concerned with the cultivation of alpine & mountain plants from around the world. The AGS is an international organisation that has thousands of paying members spread across the globe. We're devoted to sharing knowledge of how to cultivate alpine plants and protect their natural habitats for years to come. We host impressive flower shows throughout the UK and Ireland every year, produce a respected quarterly journal called 'The Alpine Gardener,' host guided tours to see alpine plants in their natural environments and publish a variety of specialist books through our own press, AGS Publications. Our alpine plant conservation work sees us teaming up with the likes of RSPB Haweswater and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh as we seek to preserve alpine plant habitats. We're also helping to raise the next generation of alpine enthusiasts. We fund student placements at some of the best horticultural establishments in the country and on our specialist tours.

supplied us with our beautiful Lewisia, which were a key part of the stand as we wanted to create a wow factor with them planted in strawberry planters from right at the front of our exhibit.
It worked! Many people commented, and not only do they look spectacular like this, but it's also a great way to grow them, protecting their rosettes from having water sat in their hearts.

We really wanted Tulips in the didplay, and were delighted to find some on the sales bench.

Another key part of our stand were dwarf conifers, which we think are integral in alpine gardens for year-long structure, texture and interest. They have a fantastic range for sale.

Ashwood Nursery is a great place to visit, the nursery itself is very well planted and gives you lots of ideas, .johns of course is excellent, and all the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Plus the tearoom is nice!

Thanks very much and John, plus the rest of the team for all your help and support.
