About the licensing programme

Our well-established and award-winning RHS Licensing Programme works with carefully selected partners to develop the best RHS-endorsed and licensed products. These RHS products aim to not only delight consumers around the world but also align with our ethical, environmental and sustainability aims.

RHS licensed products take inspiration from our RHS Gardens, our scientific research and the many thousands of botanical images held in the RHS Lindley Collections. The core categories of our growing programme include:

Garden productsHome products | Gift products | Food and drink products | Children’s products

“We’re delighted to work closely with the RHS, and feel the relationship complements and enhances our own gardening heritage. The collaboration enables us to showcase artworks from the RHS Lindley Collections in the patterns we create for our ‘RHS Gifts for Gardeners’ ranges.”
