The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) was founded in 1804 in London, England as the Horticultural Society of London, and gained its present name in a Royal Charter granted in 1861 by Prince Albert. The Royal Horticultural Society is one of the world’s leading horticultural organizations and the UK's leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture and promoting gardening.
The charitable work of the RHS is vital to the protection of plants, gardens and green spaces for future generations. The RHS helps over two million school children get into gardening. Supports more than 1,700 communities to get together and garden, and encourages people to grow their own food.
The charity also promotes horticulture through a series of world renowned flowers shows such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, RHS Tatton Park Flower Show and RHS Cardiff Flower Show. The shows exhibit the best in horticulture through avant-garde show gardens, stunning floral marques and expert advice.
In 2004 the society celebrated its bicentenary reflecting all the achievements of the RHS to date.
