Who Are The Scottish Rock Garden Club?
The Scottish Rock Garden Club was founded in 1933 by a small group of
enthusiasts who were interested in promoting the cultivation of alpine
and rock garden plants. There are now over 4500 enthusiastic members
in 38 countries. The SRGC is the largest horticultural society in Scotland
and considered by many to be the friendliest and most accessible in the World. This site
adds a new dimension to club membership and provides non-members with a
window on club activities and membership benefits.
You can join the SRGC or renew your membership here and now using our secure
on-line membership facility - just click on "Join Here" in the menus on the left.
This site is packed with information on club activities
and covers every aspect of the cultivation of alpines,
rockgarden plants and dwarf bulbs. There are section
on shows, show reports, plant portraits, feature articles
etc.
For example, why not scroll down to "Hot Links" at the foot of this
page and take the link to our "Monthly Feature Article"?
Also unmissable are Ian Young's weekly "Bulb Log" and Sandy Leven's regular bi-monthly artciles, superb resources based on practical experience.
These and all the other features are accessible

It is visited regularly by a very active and friendly
group of "forumists".
If you have a question on any
aspect of cultivating plants, then the forum is a great place to

THE SCOTTISH ROCK GARDEN CLUB 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS BEGIN FOR STUDENTS
As part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, the Scottish Rock Garden Club has announced that it is offering 75 free student memberships for 2008.
Founded in 1933, the Scottish Rock Garden Club is 75 in 2008, and is the biggest horticultural society in Scotland, with over 4000 members across the world. Many of its members are former students of botany and horticulture, and the Club has decided to offer 75 free student memberships for this year, to help to foster an interest in rock gardening and alpine plants among the current crop of UK students.
SRGC President, Ian Christie, said "For many of our members, the interest in alpines and rock gardening was sparked in their student days. By offering these free student memberships we hope to increase an interest in rock gardening in the next generation of gardeners, nurserymen and horticulturalists.
