One of the ways our society satisfies one of our constitutional objectives, "Promote and enhance the study of alpine and hardy plants as well as the creation of rock
gardens and other suitable habitats",  is to donate funds to various causes, groups or individuals. 

We have requested some feedback in return for each donation and we will be sharing their feedback going forward under the menu option ORG&HPS Donations.

We have posted our first feedback from Vojtěch Holubec and David Horák for donations we have provided to them for their research for a new book "Flowers of Historical Tibet (Tibet-Qinghai Mountain Plateau)" You can find their article with plenty of very nice photos here.

The Cape Floral Kingdom is renowned for its floral diversity, particularly in its geophytes and succulent flora. This tour will cover a large swathe of this biodiverse area at the height of spring, targeting a wide range of habitats with many endemic and localized species. This tour, offered through Greentours, will be led by Paul Cardy and Julia Corden, the latter well known to many NARGS members.

Registration will start on December 10, 2024. The cost is $7530 USD per person double occupancy, $8200 USD for single.
