To keep up with the times, the Herts HPS Group now has a Twitter account, linked to this website. I believe we are the first and only HPS group (including National HPS) to have a Twitter account, a world first no less.

By having a Twitter account, a wider audience of readers might find and visit our website.  Each time a news item is published on our website, a corresponding ‘tweet’ is also automatically posted, with the title of the news item and a link back to this website.  Should Twitter users be searching for gardening information, or have chosen to ‘follow’ our Twitter account, they will see our tweet and know to visit our site.

To see the account, click here: https://twitter.com/HertsHPS, you can see see who the account follows and the profile information.

Our Twitter account follows a variety of other garden related Twitter accounts including the Herts NGS Twitter account (https://twitter.com/HertfordshirNGS) run by our committee member Edwina Robarts. By following other Twitter accounts, I hope that they in return might follow our Twitter account, and bring readers to the website, who might be potential members.

For new readers to our site, check out the programme of events, come along as a guest to our meetings or sign up to be a member of the Herts HPS using the Join Us page. The Spring 2012 newsletter is available to non-members (click here: Spring 2012), the latest Autumn 2012 newsletter (redesigned and with some lovely colour photos) is available to members as a PDF download or can be read on the site.

If you have any garden related questions or queries, either use the Forum to get feedback from our members, or get in touch via the Contact page.
