IClS - Future Events

Summer 2026 Society Meeting to Southeastern England, Guernsey and Sark

We are set with a nice group of members to go on the 11-day trip, 2nd to 12th July 2026. The event is for Society members and their partners only, and registration is now closed. Details of the trip were sent to members, and we are especially looking forward to the behind-the-scenes tours of many famous gardens, lectures by some of the garden experts we will be visiting, and the nursery and trials area of IClS founder Raymond Evison's Guernsey Clematis Nursery Ltd. Please contact us soon if you require more information!

The meeting will be based in southern England and the Isles of Guernsey and Sark. The focus will be on the history and future of Clematis with visits to some historic clematis gardens and the nursery and clematis breeding operation of IClS founder, Raymond Evison.

The meeting is being organized in conjunction with Brightwater Holidays, a company that the Society has work with on several events in the past.

The itinerary is available on this website, please see 2026 Itinerary.

The Society visited Guernsey once before, in 1999. It was a short visit but we managed to do a lot while we were there. There are a few photos of some of the places we visited in our Past Events section, specifically Guernsey 1999, though the photos are quite small due to the speed limitations of internet communications available at that time.
