Where to Find the Old Heather Society Yearbooks and Newsletters on Heather World

Updated

The Heather Society's Yearbooks and Newsletters can be viewed on Heather World (heatherworld.org). The Society closed at the end of 2020, but its publications remain accessible through the website, which also served as the Society's online home.

What Happened to the Heather Society

The Heather Society was a group of heather enthusiasts dedicated to encouraging interest in heathers around the world. It closed at the end of 2020. Rather than disappearing with the organisation, its Yearbooks and Newsletters were kept available on Heather World for anyone who wants to read them.

Where to Look on the Site

Heather World is organised around the four heather groups — Andromeda, Calluna, Daboecia and Erica — with cultivar lists and images, plus cultivation advice and scientific material. The Society archive sits alongside this content rather than as a separate site, so expect to find the Yearbooks and Newsletters within Heather World itself.

If you are browsing for the first time, the site's own welcome text is the clearest confirmation of what is there: it states directly that the Society closed at the end of 2020 but that "their Yearbooks and Newsletters can be viewed here."

What Else Is on Heather World

Beyond the Society archive, the site covers:

  • The four heather groups — Andromeda, Calluna, Daboecia and Erica — shown in cultivar lists with images of many.
  • Wild and rare heathers — from European heaths and moorlands to South African or "Cape" heaths.
  • Cultivation guidance — choosing, growing and propagating heathers.
  • Scientific material — studies and nomenclature.

Practical Notes

  • The site is written in British English and is aimed at both newcomers and experienced growers.
  • No pricing or login details are indicated for viewing the archive, so treat access as a straightforward browse rather than a gated resource.
  • If a direct link to the Yearbooks or Newsletters is not obvious from the homepage, look for an archive or Society section within the site's navigation.
