RHS Gift Membership
A gift membership makes a great gift, because it keeps on giving. Many gift memberships have a monthly or quarterly magazine so that you can get updates and news, interesting features and stunning photography, come through your letter-box - or in some cases, your inbox.
There are lots of gift membership schemes to suit all interests, and if you're looking for a membership for a garden lover, you could look at the RHS.
The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) is Britain's oldest horticultural charity, having been founded back in 1804. It's mission is to bring gardening to everyone, and it has lots of initatives to do just that. With campaigns such as Britain in Bloom, Wild About Gardening, Greening Great Britain, National Gardening Week, Campaign for School Gardening and Horticulture Matters, there's lots to get involved with. Plus they have lots of workshops and advice, and famous flower shows such as RHS Chelsea, RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, RHS Flower Show Tatton Park and the Malvern Autumn Show. Members get reduced ticket prices.
There are shows throughout the year, such as the Urban Flower Show in Manchester.
The RHS gardens include RHS Rosemoor (Devon), RHS Hyde Hall (Essex), RHS Harlow Carr (North Yorkshire), RHS Wisley (Surrey) and most recently RHS Bridgewater (Greater Manchester). RHS members get free entry to RHS gardens and free entry to RHS partner gardens at selected times of the year, so there's lots to see and enjoy.
There are 220 beautiful RHS Partner Gardens in the UK and overseas.
Take a look at them here. They offer free entry to RHS members at selected times of the year.
Gift memberships will give your loved one these current member benefits:
- Unlimited entry to all 5 RHS Gardens for the member and a family guest or 2 children
- A copy of The Garden magazine
