The Heather Society
The Heather Society and its affiliated societies extend a very warm welcome to everyone entering the world of heathers, not least to newcomers who have only recently developed an interest in the attractive heather family. The Society covers every aspect of this world, from the wild heathers of European heaths and moorlands to the rare splendours of South African heaths, from everyday culture including choosing, growing and propagating hardy heathers to the most sophisticated heather garden designs.
