Explore the long-standing relationship between dogs, plants and gardens in this 15-minute show and tell at the RHS Lindley Library!

Join our summer series of Lindley Live talks as we take a look at dogs and gardens, inspired by the RHS and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden at Chelsea.

Browse an eclectic range of references to horticultural hounds in our library collection, from plant names to the pets of famous horticulturalists.

Our informal show and tells offer a 15-minute introduction to the treasures of our Library collection to liven up your lunch break.

No need to book, just drop in. RHS membership not required. Register your interest to receive a reminder ahead of the event.

The show and tell begins at 1.15pm. Come early to browse our collection of modern titles and changing book displays.

Discover more about the Dog Garden, designed by Monty Don and his golden retriever, Ned, on the RHS Website.
