It is written for both experts and beginners and aims to mirror the wide ranges of interests and skills of our members.

The Rock Garden
Issued twice per year to members, the 126 colour pages of The Rock Garden partner the online activities of the club. The journal is the usual mix of events, prizes, recollections, plant-hunting expeditions, hernia-inducing rock movements, perfect show plants, and book reviews. Its pages always aim to show the month to month activities of members and for many people these culminate in the definitive exhibits at our regular shows. Thanks to the effort of show secretaries and photographers, there are accounts of  shows at Blackpool,Stirling, Perth, Highland, Hexham and Glasgow.
