Our impact: how we make a difference 

How we make a difference

The RHS Communities team works with community groups, schools and individuals, bringing the joy of plants, growing and gardens to people across the UK.

We believe that gardening can change lives and through our work, we aim to inspire and connect people with plants, empower them to grow in any way they choose, and celebrate their accomplishments and stories.

Growing stronger, happier communities
