| Description: |
The Royal Horticultural Society is the UK's leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture and promoting good gardening.
Our goal is to help people share a passion for plants, to encourage excellence in horticulture and inspire all those with an interest in gardening.
Education is central to the Society’s charitable purpose. One of our key responsibilities is to increase understanding among a new generation of gardeners, not only of the pleasure that plants bring, but also of the economic, social and environmental value of plants and growing them. This is one of the reasons we have introduced our Vision for Learning policy - Cultivating Futures - which puts plants at the heart of people's lives.
Schools can make free visits to all four RHS gardens. Continual Professional Development training is available for teachers. Family events are a feature at all gardens. The newly launched Campaign for School Gardening provides support to teachers and students to get gardening in their schools.
