Seed scheme for members 2012
As a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, one of the many benefits is the opportunity to order seeds, which have been harvested by hand from RHS gardens Wisley in Surrey, Hyde Hall in Essex, Harlow Carr in Yorkshire and Rosemoor in Devon.
Please note that unfortunately we are still only able to send seed to addresses in the UK and EU, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
To take advantage of the seed scheme there is charge of £12.
This charge contributes to the postage and packing of seeds, and towards the cost of running and staffing the Seed Department at RHS Garden Wisley.
The closing date for this year’s seed application has now passed. The Seed Department has been sending orders out since January. If you have not received your seed by 30 April 2012 please contact the Membership department.
The new list will be available online again from 1 November 2012 on this page www.rhs.org.uk/seedlist
Any Member who has ordered seed in the previous two years will automatically receive a copy of the new seed list, or receive an e-mail giving details of how to access the list online.
Any Members wishing to receive the next edition of the seed list can register at any time by contacting the Membership department.

More information about the scheme
The Seed Distribution Scheme is available exclusively to members of the RHS. Members can order up to 20 packets of seed which have been harvested from all four RHS gardens, Wisley in Surrey, Hyde Hall in Essex, Harlow Carr in Yorkshire and Rosemoor in Devon. At present seed can only be sent to addresses in the UK, EU Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
Throughout the year, at RHS gardens, seed is gathered from hundreds of different plant varieties. The Seed Department at Wisley then dries, cleans and packs all the seeds ready for dispatch between January and April.
The RHS is dedicated to promoting excellence in horticulture and providing expert gardening advice. RHS gardens are committed to cultivating a wide range of plants to the highest standard, so that you can be assured of a good selection to choose from.
Access to this diversity of seeds from plants cultivated by experts is a great benefit for RHS members, and the Seed Distribution Scheme makes ordering seeds for your garden simple and straightforward.
To take advantage of the seed scheme there is a charge of £12.
This charge contributes to the postage and packing of seeds, and towards the cost of running and staffing the Seed Department at RHS Garden Wisley.
