About Our Charity

From specialist plant societies to educational initiatives, the work of the charity also includes the support and sponsorship of a range of independent groups and community programmes, imparting unique horticultural skills and knowledge for future generations.

Our Work With Charities

RHS Yorkshire in Bloom

Through its annual awards, RHS Yorkshire in Bloom encourages communities of whatever size; small villages, towns or a big city, to make a positive and lasting improvement to their local environment for the benefit of local people. As part of its focus on the future generation of gardener’s and horiculturalists, the North of England Horticultural Society continues to support the work of Yorkshire in Bloom through its sponsorship of the annual ‘Young People’s Award’, presented each year to a school, group or individual committed to making a positive difference to their surroundings.
