name needed for a new (real) gardening group

The Hardy Plant Society doesnt have a group in Northern Ireland. A letter was sent to all local members of the HPS to see if they would like to form an informal local group. 14 out of 28 have so far said yes.

We dont want to be call the Hardy Plant Society Ulster Group so need a good querky name to go by. It still has to abide by HPS rules so cant be too extreme.

What do you suggest?

I'd suggest asking your members.

The two of us who formed the group are trying to come up with something before the first meeting.

Hmmmm

The Ulster Hardy Party?

*groan*

this is a hard assignment

Cheri'

Hardy Boyz

Our Hardy Plants..........

"eyes"

What does the Hardy Plant Society say to not including their name, but using their ground rules?

We dont want to be a formal group but want to try and follow their ways maybe not so much the rules. One thing we will be doing is at every meeting we will bring in 2 plants from our gardens talk about them and pass them to another person. That way we all go home with something different.

Pass the Perennials, Ulster Circle.

(a change from pass the parcel LOL)

Hmmmm, that's almost as awful as the 'Mammal Matters, Mammals Matter' that I came up with for our SE conf. But I hadn't had any wine this time LOL

Laurel and Hardy Perennials? Hardy, Har, Har!!

Hardy in Northern Ireland Plant Society or HINIPS

Hardy in Ulster Plant Society or HUPS

Plants in Ulster (Hardy) or PUSH

etc etc...

Com"pair" & Share Gaelic Flora????

thanks everyone I'll bring them to our forst meeting yonight

hi i came up with this.
h.o.p.s.
hardy offshoot plant society
or
hardy outgrowth plant society
both meaning a lateral shoot from the main stem of the plant.
i also thought of h.i.p.s. but i couldn't come up with something as catchy in the garden terms.

let us know what you decide to name your group.
debi

IHOPS? No that is taken.:)

noted also for tonight. HIPS sounds good If we can come up with something to go with it.

Hardy in Ireland Plant Society

it's too close to the name we want to avoid - the Hardy Plant Society

It just covered the HIPS thing

Pass the Perennial Ulster Circle could be PPUC (an ageless sprite, if you've read your Shakespeare) - well, he was Puck, but near enough

I hesitate to suggest Pass the Hardy (Plant) Ulster Circle as this might be open to misinterpretation

oops didnt even notice. silly me

Men of Ulster Plant Society?

Serious Ulsterious Society for Plants?

Hey, On the IHOP suggestion, they could serve pancakes during their meetings! hehehe

Just back from the first meeting and we are The Side Shoots

Hey, I really like that! Congratulations :)

love the new name. thanks for including us in your groups first meeting mark.

I reckon debi_z gets the prize
Good name
