It is necessary that you both register and subscribe to make full use of the Plantlives database. Registration is Free. A subscription costs £15 per annum for an individual and £50 per annum for an organisation. See the list below for the different facilities available for Unregistered, Registered, Individual Subscription and Organisational Subscription members.

The process is very simple and quick. Firstly you need to Register. We ask you to supply a 'nickname' by which you are known, a password, known only to you, and an email address. After completing this process we will send you an automatic email to complete the registration process.
This is an essential step to prevent false email addresses being used. Register Here
