The Plantsman, published quarterly, is the RHS's premier publication dedicated to a deeper understanding and appreciation of garden plants. Each issue features an informative range of articles written by acknowledged experts on plant-related subjects. It also reflects RHS scientific activities along with horticultural and botanical research from other sources.
No other regular publication balances such an authoritative and accessible mix of plant profiles, horticulture, botany and garden plant development. Published quarterly in full colour, The Plantsman focuses on ornamental plants grown in temperate gardens. Under its editor Mike Grant the journal continues to broaden its scope while maintaining quality and accuracy.
Each 68-page issue is printed in full colour and covers a wide range of subjects such as:
- Profiles and evaluations of plant genera, species and cultivars of horticultural merit
- Recent plant introductions and descriptions of new plants
- New or advanced cultivation and propagation techniques
- Detailed accounts and findings from RHS trials
