RHS Community Gardening
The RHS currently runs three community gardening programmes which support groups and communities throughout the UK in:
- Sharing their gardening knowledge
- Helping the environment
- Increasing civic pride
- Building a sense of community
- Getting the community active
The current programmes are:
RHS Britain in Bloom: One of Europe’s largest horticultural campaigns in which over 1,000 cities, towns and villages participate each year in order to show off their achievements in environmental responsibility, community participation and of course, horticulture.
RHS Neighbourhood Awards: The grass-roots community gardening sister campaign to Britain in Bloom offering support and recognition to over 600 community-lead groups who are cleaning up and greening their local patch.
More on the RHS Neighbourhood Awards
RHS Affiliated Societies: The UK’s largest network of gardening clubs which supports over 2,800 local gardening clubs and horticultural societies in sharing their knowledge and getting even more people gardening.
