Britain is a wonderful place for conifers and conifer enthusiasts. Our climate and topography allow us to grow more of the world's species in these small islands than virtually anywhere else. Our plant and seed collecting tradition has left us a rich heritage of maturing conifers and the Victorian craze gave us the interest and enthusiasm for dwarf and unusual conifers that we have maintained to this day.

The British Conifer Society wishes to include everybody from keen gardeners and collectors of ornamental, dwarf and rare conifers, to owners and managers of arboreta and nurseries, and professional botanists.
