Helen answers pathology and entomology enquiries for RHS Gardening Advice online and at RHS Shows. She also promotes plant health and inspires interest in plant sciences through outreach to RHS members and the public
As an RHS Plant Health Advisor, I provide members and visitors to RHS Shows with tailored advice on plant health, diagnosing plant health problems caused by diseases and insects and offering them guidance and solutions. Beyond individual consultations, our team works to build skills in plant health, helping people learn to identify and diagnose their own plant issues. I support this by creating and updating online resources, contributing to social and print media, and engaging in outreach activities that promote plant health awareness and education.
“I love engaging with our audiences on plant health issues, helping to keep our green spaces healthy and full of biodiversity”
The RHS is the UK’s gardening charity, helping people and plants to grow - nurturing a healthier, happier world, one person and one plant at a time.
