The RHS (that's the Royal Horticultural Society) has been Britain's leading gardening charity since 1804.   

Its aim was to collect plant information and to encourage the improvement of horticultural practice.   It's now the world's leading horticultural organisation and it's passionate about gardening.  Not only that, it wants everyone else to be passionate about it too!

It's probably best known for its world famous flower shows such as RHS Hampton Court, RHS Chelsea of course, RHS Tatton Park and RHS Cardiff - but did you know there's now a 5th show at Chatsworth?  

Other things the RHS is busy doing to get us all into gardening if we aren't already is running things like the Britain in Bloom competition, National Gardening week, Wild About Gardens, Greening Grey Britain and - crucially - the Campaign for School Gardenining.  Kids love getting messy outside and growing their own, and we need to encourage the gardeners and horticutluralists of the future.

So the good news it that if you're looking for a gift for a gardener or someone who is interested in it, there are a couple of offers on RHS Membership at the moment.
