RHS Gardens, Events & Shows
Visit RHS Gardens
The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) have been inspiring a love of gardens for over 200 years. Over the next two years they will be making some of the most exciting and significant changes in their history with developments across all their gardens and shows. It’s the perfect time to take your group to the RHS Gardens or Event.
What’s new?
This year the RHS will open their first new garden in over 17 years, RHS Garden Bridgewater in Greater Manchester. Also opening in 2020 is the superb new Centre for Horticultural Science and Learning at RHS Garden Wisley. Surrounded by three new gardens, this new research centre will contain extensive public exhibition space and provide amazing insight for visitors into the RHS’s amazing work and research.
Minimum numbers apply when booking any group tour to RHS Gardens and Events.
