RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show

This category is for a compilation of six images in a series or on a common theme, and is judged for RHS medals at the RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show at Saatchi Gallery, London.
 



 

In 2024, a diverse range of subjects are being presented by participants from around the world. Celebrating habitats such as woodlands, meadows, deserts rainforests with representations of scientific and medicinal plants as well as rare and endangered species. 



 

Entries for the show go through a meticulous pre-selection process, where the scientific accuracy, technical skill and aesthetic appeal of the work are reviewed by an expert judging panel prior to the show opening.

Artists and photographers are awarded RHS Gold, Silver-Gilt, Silver, and Bronze medals, as well as a series of special awards.


 

The show complements the work of the RHS Lindley Collections, with RHS Gold medal-winning artworks regularly added to the collections, contributing to a long legacy of botanical art collecting and displaying by the RHS.

We hold more than 30,000 botanical paintings stretching back to the 1630s and heritage photographic images starting in the 1860s. Botanical art and photography help pinpoint trends and discoveries of plants popular in UK gardens.
