The Peony Society was established in 2000 to promote peonies as garden plants and to bring together people who shared a passion for them. It was obvious at the time that there was considerable interest in peonies, not just in the UK, but around the world. Initially the society was named The British Peony Society, but following a decision taken at the first Annual General Meeting, the name was changed to The Peony Society. Everyone is invited to join us. Enthusiastic gardeners, Professional horticulturalists, botanists and Nursery owners will all gain from being members, because of a shared love of these super plants.
