Go Green Weekend

Celebrate Global Recycling Day at RHS Garden Rosemoor with a fun weekend learning how we can lessen our impact on the environment, through upcycling and improving sustainability, with a focus on the effect different industries have on our planet.

There's the opportunity to meet environmental experts, listen to talks by people who are passionate about our planet and learn which items can be saved from going to landfill and upcycled. You can also purchase goods from businesses whose core values include offering products that have a reduced impact on the earth.

There will also be a display of sculptures using recycled items, children's workshops throughout the weekend and a full talks programme.
