Royal Horticultural Society

The Royal Horticultural Society, founded in 1804, exists to promote gardening and horticulture in Britain and Europe. This is done through a series of flower shows and through many model gardens that are open to the public.

The RHS has four flagship gardens in England: Wisley in Surrey, Rosemoor in Devon, Hyde Hall in Essex and Harlow Carr in North Yorkshire. The most famous of the RHS's flower shows is the annual Chelsea Flower Show, but also organizes two others: at Hampton Court[?] and Tatton Park[?] in Cheshire.
