JOINING AND REGISTERING AS A NEW MEMBER

There are several benefits to becoming an MPG member not least the camaraderie found in getting to know other members with similar interests. Some members live or have second homes in Mediterranean areas, some have no garden at all but have a special interest in particular Mediterranean plants or regions. Several are horticultural professionals.
Each year we hold a Winter Meeting and in summer we hold our Annual General Meeting in the UK followed by a tour of gardens of interest. All events have an informal social side. A common interest in plants and horticulture overcomes almost every barrier, resulting in a global network of people with shared interests.
Members enjoy visits to gardens in the Mediterranean and UK as well as botanising trips, planned with the help of specialist volunteers and professionals. Previous tours include Armenia, Crete, Jordan, Morocco, South Africa, France, Greece and Italy.

Terms
MPG is an association of like-minded individuals interested in Mediterranean plants and gardens, with members organising events and tours for other members on a mutually supportive basis. It is not a tour operator and trips are open only to members of MPG and its sister organisations. Trips are organised by members and for members, in the spirit MPG was founded, namely so that members can help each other finding and learning about plants and/or gardens, and exploring places that may be special. We run things at break-even, work being done mainly by volunteers. Events are subject to alteration due to the weather, personal circumstances of guides or garden owners, and other circumstances which can't be controlled. Members organising events on behalf of and/or for the benefit of members cannot be held liable for any claims.
