When it's gone it's gone. Over decades and sometimes centuries, our nation's dedicated gardeners have bred and cared for a rich diversity of garden plants. The genetic heritage contained in these living organisms can only be preserved by active gardeners. A nation of growers We are a nation of gardeners so let's live up to our reputation. From public gardens to small back yards there are rare plants that need saving. The lost garden of Britain When production of garden plants is commercially streamlined we risk losing the most precious cultivars. Let's save these plants by growing and sharing them. Cultural and social history Pests, diseases and changes of fashion mean plants can simply disappear. We may help medicinal cures or disease resistance by saving garden plants. Why does this matter? We know and love the plants from our nation's stories, poems and paintings. Let's make sure future generations get to appreciate them as much as we do. Find out more Plant Heritage aims to conserve the diversity of our garden plants We are the only national charity to ensure the cultivated plants we grow now will be available to future generations for cultural, medical, culinary and aesthetic use. We do this through the National Plant Collection scheme, our Plant Guardians and our local group network, supported by our threatened plants programme and Persephone, our online plant recording system.
