Message from Elizabeth Peters


Greetings to you all

I am honoured to have been appointed President of PSI from the beginning of 2027, when John Vanderplank will step down. Along with Markus as Vice President and the rest of the new team, I look forward to building on what he and Robert Rice have achieved with the existing team over the last few years.

I am a lifelong Passiflora collector and have run a Passiflora-centric specialty nursery for the past 30 years. I have gained so much knowledge and enjoyment from PSI members and activities, and hope with your support to help others benefit from it as much as I have done. PSI’s mission has never been more important.
