The RHS Gardens are constantly evolving, embracing innovation while staying true to the best horticultural practices. Each garden has its own distinctive character shaped by its surroundings, offering a dynamic and inspiring experience throughout the year. With ever-changing displays, creative designs, and seasonal highlights, every visit, whether with a group or on a coach tour, brings something new to discover and enjoy.

Visiting with your group

With five world-class gardens in all corners of the country RHS Gardens – Bridgewater, Greater Manchester, Harlow Carr, North Yorkshire, Hyde Hall, Essex, Rosemoor, North Devon and Wisley, Surrey, you can expect your group to be wowed on any visit to the RHS.
