Mains water use in our homes and gardens is often highest when water availability is lowest – in hot, dry periods. However, by making a few simple changes, we can all make our gardens and outdoor spaces thrive on the rainfall we receive by collecting it and re-using it during dry spells. So, switch now from mains to rains to make your garden more sustainable.

As laid out in our Sustainability Strategy, the RHS aims to be water neutral by 2030. We are committed to using less, capturing, reusing and recycling water in RHS operations, including gardens and shows, and to encourage water-neutral gardening practices.
