Three of our shows each year are held jointly with the Alpine Garden Society shows in the north of England. These are run under the rules of each organisation in alternate years. AGS rules are available below; it is advisable to check these as there are some differences.
A photographic competition is held annually. Entries show be submitted by 1st September 2026 and results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting and Autumn Festival on 31st October 2026. Information on this and the schedule is available here.
THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S ALPINE & ROCK GARDEN EXPERT GROUP
The Alpine & Rock Garden Expert Group meets at several of our shows each year to assess plants for awards. It deals with all rock and alpine house plants other than irises, rhododendrons, narcissi and tulips, although it does deal with dwarf members of these genera when these specialist committees are not meeting.
All current details of the committee, how to submit a plant, and where the meeting will be held - may be downloaded HERE.
