NZ Horticulture & Garden Organisations.
NZ Horticulture & Garden Organisations.
When you start researching this subject you’ll find there’s a plethora of Societies, associations, clubs, circles and groups. Which is a sign of a healthy and dynamic interest in this subject. So I thought I’d make a contribution by making this directory of links to help and encourage people to connect with each other and nature through gardening. This list is not complete but is a starting point if you’re wanting to connect with other people who are enthusiasts in their chosen field of horticulture. They are generally friendly and helpful. Here’s a list of some of the not for profit national horticulture & garden related organisations. I’ve stretched the definition of horticulture and gardening to include conservation groups, because they need help to do their good work.
