Description

The Hebe Society was founded in 1985 and is a British Registered Charity. It is affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society and the New Zealand Alpine Garden Society. Most members are in the British Isles, but some are in the rest of Europe, North America and New Zealand.

Although initially formed for those interested in hebes, the Society now supports the cultivation and conservation of all New Zealand plants.
