Membership is open to all who support the aims of PlantNetwork. For information about PlantNetwork and the benefits of membership, please see ‘About’ and ‘Benefits’.
The membership period starts for everyone on 1st April and ends on 31st March the following year but you can join at any time. New members can join from 1st January to benefit from up to 15 months membership for the price of 12 months. This happens automatically for anyone signing up for a new membership on or after 1st January. More information can be obtained from the PlantNetwork Coordinator.
Alternatively, you might decide to join from 1st October each year for 6 months membership at half the annual membership fee.
You can join as an and individual or as an institution (gardens or other organisations with 1-201+ staff). Institutional membership provides the institution with listing on the PlantNetwork website, access to update entries in the Directory and 50% reduction on job adverts as well as a number of individual memberships for staff and coworkers. The number of memberships is determined by the level of membership sought e.g. ‘Garden or organisation with <20 horticultural staff’ provides up to 20 individual memberships whilst ‘Garden or organisation with 101-200 horticultural staff’ provides up to 200 individual memberships.
