Our Values

Trustees, volunteers and members of the Exotic Fern Group uphold a set of Core Values that guide our conduct and reflect the principles of the charity.​

​

Community

A shared passion for ferns unites us in fostering a supportive network. Our worldwide community of growers, specialists and institutions embraces openness, kindness and respect, providing a constructive environment for everyone to collaborate and share diverse experiences, insights and perspectives.
​

Sustainability

We are dedicated to sustainability through the responsible cultivation and conservation of fern diversity. We ethically source and propagate fern species, minimising ecological impact and safeguarding biodiversity for future generations. We encourage the thoughtful expansion of public and private collections, so that more species are securely held in cultivation.​

 

Knowledge

We advance horticulture through learning, research and the free exchange of expertise. By developing resources and documenting best practices, we help everyone, from first-time growers to specialists, understand and appreciate ferns. We inspire lifelong learning and a broader commitment to fern cultivation and conservation worldwide.
