We've teamed up with the University of Nottingham to launch our Plants for Purpose project, which will be using AI technology to help build a knowledge bank of plants that benefit the environment. Covering more than 400,000 different plant cultivars found in the UK, the deep learning tool will identify characteristics in plants that have been shown to have benefits for areas including pollination, water management and biodiversity.

Have you heard of the RHS Plant Trials? Every year, different plant groups test plants to identify the most robust, resilient, and beautiful cultivars for your home and garden, to provide gardeners with reliable recommendations. Plants that perform exceptionally well receive the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Recent trial results include 28 new AGMs for Tulipa (lily and fringed). This trial focused specifically on fringed and lily-flowered tulip cultivars, and followed on from the 2022 trial of early-flowering tulips. With more trial results coming soon in 2025, find out more about the RHS Plant Trials on our website: https://lnkd.in/d3if2d_J #AGM #AwardOfGardenMerit #RHSGardenWisley

We’re excited to announce the RHS and Radio 2 Dog Garden designed by Monty Don for RHS Chelsea 2025! 🐕 This will be the first RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden to be designed by Gardeners’ World’s Monty Don, one of Britain’s best loved gardeners, whose deep affection for dogs (and his golden retriever Ned) is widely known. Monty shared his thoughts with us on his inspiration for the garden: “This is an irresistible opportunity to join with the RHS and Radio 2 to share my love of gardens and dogs at the world’s greatest horticultural event. Along with the superb [Form Plants] team headed by Jamie Butterworth we shall be making a garden that is inspired by Longmeadow and my own dogs but above all a celebration of the way that so many of us share our gardens with our canine companions.” Following #RHSChelsea 2025, the garden will live on just across the river at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for all the rescue dogs and the people who work and volunteer there to enjoy for generations to come!

What does your green space say about you? 🌱 At today's RHS Autumn Press Conference, we announced our theme for 2025, 'Your Space, Your Story', which will celebrate the individuality and diversity of gardeners across the country. From allotment lovers to houseplant hoarders, we want to be there for every type of gardener to provide advice and inspiration. Access to green spaces can enhance our lives, health, happiness and environment. That's why, as part of the Your Space, Your Story campaign, we'll be calling on the Government to recognise the importance of gardens as part of their scheme to build 1.5 million new homes. Find out more about our plans to call for the provision of green spaces to be included in the Government's housebuilding targets: https://lnkd.in/d4BHQgAU #RHS #YourSpaceYourStory
