Why the Royal Horticultural Society believes gardening is a vital restorative force
In short: Sue Biggs, Director General of the RHS, reflects on the success of the Virtual Chelsea Flower Show. She highlights the essential role gardens play in challenging times and encourages everyone to engage with their green spaces to experience the restorative power of nature.
The Virtual Chelsea Flower Show brought together designers, growers, florists, and landscapers to share their expertise and passion for horticulture. This digital initiative aimed to inspire the public to get outside, grow plants, and appreciate the therapeutic benefits of gardening.
Founded in 1804, the Royal Horticultural Society operates as a leading charity dedicated to the science, art, and practice of gardening. Its mission is anchored in four guiding principles: to inspire, involve, inform, and improve, ensuring that the benefits of horticulture remain accessible and impactful for everyone.
