Perennial

Perennial provides free, confidential advice, support and financial assistance to people of all ages working in or retired from horticulture and their spouses, partners and children. Their work depends entirely on voluntary donations from the horticultural industry and the garden-loving public; they will be at the LANDSCAPE show in September and look forward to your visit.
