RHS Grow is the gardening app from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), designed to help you identify plants, care for them with confidence, and create a garden you'll love.

Built specifically for British gardeners, RHS Grow combines trusted horticultural expertise with smart digital tools to make gardening simpler, more rewarding and more enjoyable for gardeners of all experience levels.

Whether you’re just starting your gardening journey or already an experienced gardener, RHS Grow gives you trusted support to help you grow with confidence.

RHS Grow is much more than a plant identification app.

It is an all-in-one gardening companion designed to support every stage of your gardening journey, from identifying plants to helping them thrive long term. Instead of using multiple apps for plant identification, care advice, reminders and garden planning, RHS Grow brings everything together in one trusted place. RHS Grow combines multiple gardening tools in one app, including:

I'm an RHS member, do I need to pay for RHS Grow?

RHS Grow is separate to RHS membership and available to everyone. The RHS is a charity and we will continue to develop Grow as part of our commitment to supporting gardening throughout the UK. To do this we need to cover the costs of the app.

We believe Membership already provides excellent value for money; free visits to the five RHS Gardens for you and a family member all year round (Individual Membership) or up to seven people; three family adults and four children (Joint Membership); events at RHS Gardens are free or discounted for members. You also receive The Garden Magazine every month, worth £59.40 alone. Plus, discounted tickets to RHS Flower Shows and access to the member advice service. You also have access to 220 RHS Partner Gardens to visit for free, at selected times.

Is Grow available outside the UK and in other languages?

Unfortunately, at launch this app is only available within the UK due to being a UK based charity and the costs that would be incurred by making it internationally available. RHS Grow is only available in English (UK).
