Frequent Asked Questions (FAQs):

What are Garden Grants? - A cornerstone of our charitable giving to the community. In 2020, 17 worthy organizations received grant money for horticultural research and educational programs. 

What are Pop-Up Events? - Pop-ups are member sponsored events that don’t fall under the categories of our established SIGs. They can include members and nonmembers as participants and take place throughout the year. Workshops, garden tours and visits to historical horticultural sites are very popular. Any member can be a Pop-up organizer - share your fabulous ideas!

What is Seed Exchange? - Since the fall and winter of 1993–1994, HPS members have been gathering, cleaning, packing, and distributing seed with an eye to sharing their favorites and keeping unusual plants in circulation.They often value and preserve seeds of plants not available in commercial nurseries. HPS is one of the largest seed exchanges in this region and offers more than 1,000 different seeds, varieties that are difficult to get anywhere else.
