This specialist group of the Alpine Garden Society is based in the UK but has a very significant overseas membership. The group is now well established with twice yearly meetings, annual seed exchange, regular newsletters and the biennial Androsace Notebook.

The annual subscription is £4.00 for UK members; €10, US $10 bill or a £5.00 note for overseas members. Please note that cheques in currencies other than Sterling are best avoided as they are too costly to convert. Joint membership is available at the reduced rate of £6.00 or equivalent.
Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December.

Our seed exchange takes place during October and in each of the years to date has included some very interesting and sought after species. We plan to extend the exchange to include seed known to be true to species (either wild collected or grown in isolation).
Current members can access all previous years' seed lists by entering the Members Area
Donations of seed can be accepted at any time of year and are stored under controlled refrigeration. Please forward seed donations to the seed exchange manager: For latest news and up to date information on the current seed exchange click here.
ACE/KGB: Seed from a number of Chinese species of androsace were collected by the Kunming Gothenburg Botanic expedition (KGB) in 1993 and the AGS Chinese Expedition (ACE) in October 1994.
We are currently holding two meetings each year - spring and autumn (often in conjunction with one of the AGS shows). Our meetings are very informal, with talks, slides and of course plants (both for display/discussion and for sale).
Provisional arrangements have been made for a meeting in conjunction with the AGS Loughborough (Autumn) show on October 13th 2007 - further details will be published later.
For the latest information please contact androsace@gmail.com
The Androsace Group aims to circulate information on the cultivation and naming of androsaces and on their ecology and status in the wild. It also aims to investigate the problems of preserving species and hybrids in cultivation and to take what steps it can to ensure such preservation.
