The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is the premier gardening charity in the United Kingdom. Our mission is to enrich everyone's life through plants and to make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. With a history that spans over two centuries, we have been promoting horticulture, gardening, and the conservation of plants since 1804.

At the RHS, we believe that gardens and gardening have the power to transform lives and strengthen communities. Through our various initiatives and activities, we aim to inspire a passion for gardening, provide expert advice and guidance, and enable people to create and enjoy their gardens, whether big or small.
