Royal Horticultural Society

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is a leading UK environmental charity dedicated to promoting horticulture and gardening. Recent news highlights several key aspects of their current activities. Firstly, the RHS is urging gardeners to adopt a more tolerant approach to caterpillars, recognizing their importance in the ecosystem amidst declining moth populations. Secondly, the Chelsea Flower Show, a prestigious horticultural event organized by the RHS, is seeking new charity sponsors following the end of support from Project Giving Back. This change necessitates finding new funding sources to maintain the show's scale and impact. Finally, the RHS is actively addressing the growing threat of water shortages by investing in water-capture and management projects across its five public gardens, demonstrating their commitment to environmental sustainability and adaptation to climate change. These initiatives underscore the RHS's continued relevance in promoting responsible gardening practices and safeguarding the future of horticulture in the face of environmental challenges.
