A nation in bloom : celebrating the people, plants and places of the Royal Horticultural Society
Biggs, Matthew2019
Books, Manuscripts
The RHS is the world's largest gardening charity but what it does and why is little understood and rarely celebrated. From defining new gardening trends at the Chelsea Flower Show, to ranking the best dahlias to grow at the Wisley trial grounds, to inspiring communities with Britain in Bloom, educating children to grow and eat their veg through the Campaign for School Gardening, the RHS works tirelessly to improve the gardener's lot. With the use of evocative archive images and contemporary photos by Jason Ingram, this book explores the past, present, and future of this most influential organisation by listening to the voices of those working today.
