“The RHS has been inspiring gardeners since 1804 and we intend to do so for many years to come. But there is so much more we would like to do. It is only with the help of partners from the world of business that we can continue to fulfil our mission as Britain's leading gardening charity. We have so much to offer in return for their commitment.” - The RHS
How the world’s greatest gardening events can benefit your business
Gardening has always been Britain’s favourite pastime, but in the last decade or so it has become a phenomenon - the inspiration for everything from peak time TV programmes to multi-million pound retail concepts.
At the heart of this major consumer market are the great gardening events of the Royal Horticultural Society - including the world famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
At each event the RHS sets the standards in horticulture by bringing together new ideas and the very best plants, products and people with a rigorous commitment to quality. Now, that gardening is firmly established in the mainstream, more companies from outside the world of horticulture are discovering that RHS flower shows can work hard for them; they deliver high returns on investments made in activities undertaken at these prestigious events.
Take part in any RHS show and your company or brand will be associated with quality, creativity, tradition and all the excitement of a major event which enjoys national media attention.
More specifically, you get the chance to promote your company, product or service to an audience of upmarket garden devotees. RHS shows are famous for attracting members of the Royal family, politicians, captains of industry and celebrities from the arts and showbusiness.
Alongside them, around 700,000 enthusiasts visit, many of them affluent people who make up much of the Royal Horticultural Society’s membership. Millions more enjoy the shows through the RHS website, national press coverage and dedicated television and radio programmes.
