About the organisation

Our client is the leading charitable organisation promoting the enjoyment, study and conservation of wild plants in Britain and Ireland.

They have a strong, stable and steadily growing membership base of over 3,000 and hundreds of dedicated volunteers who conduct the majority of their activity.
