Holehird Garden in Windermere, home of the  Lakeland Horticultural Society, featured on BBC Gardeners' World on Friday April 4th. There was an excellent item about the National Plant Collection of Meconopsis at the garden, with Pat Murphy talking about the wonderful plants.

If you missed the programme, you can still see it on BBC iPlayer.

The Meconopsis Group aims to conserve as many Meconopsis species, subspecies and varieties in cultivation as possible, and so we need to know what is being grown. All growers can help by filling in the census form.

The census is now live. Full information is on the website in the Cultivation > Species Census menu item. From there anyone can download Word and Excel versions of a form. Members of The Meconopsis Group can now use an on-line form instead, which we hope will be helpful. There is a link to it on the Species Census web page.

The census will close on 30th September 2025. Data in the on-line table will be transferred to our census administrator automatically. Word and Excel form should be emailed to species-gallery@themeconopsisgroup.org by 30th September 2025.
