PlantNetwork – the plant collections network of Britain and Ireland – is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1996, that "aims to promote botanical collections in Britain and Ireland as a national resource for research, conservation and education and to facilitate networking and training among holders of plant collections".[1][2] The current honorary president of the charity is Fellow David Rae, who was also involved in the creation of the journal Sibbaldia in 2003.[3] The collections covered under the charity's support network include the National Trust for Scotland, the Forestry Commission, and the Royal Horticultural Society.[4] PlantNetwork routinely holds conferences and workshops on both how to plant and handle trees and how to keep up material records on trees and their growth. The group also releases a newsletter covering similar information.[5]

PlantNetwork hosted a virtual conference alongside the journal Sibbaldia in October 2020 to promote horticultural accomplishments and to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.[6][7]
