The RHS is the UK's leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture and promoting gardening. It has been bringing pleasure to those who love horticulture, gardens and gardening for more than 200 years.

Horticultural science, plant trials, education and improvements to our gardens, shows and events are at the heart of the RHS’s charitable purpose. But as we receive no government funding and members' subscriptions only provide around a quarter of funds needed for our charitable work, we rely on donations, sponsorship and voluntary work to supplement income from our garden operations, flower shows, shops and plant centres.
