If you’re looking for ideas for a last-minute trip for your group, why not visit one of the RHS’ four beautiful gardens during National Gardening Week, which runs from 30 April to 6 May

The theme for this year’s week-long nationwide celebration of gardening is all about sharing your passion for plants, and the four RHS Gardens will be running activities and events to inspire and help gardeners, including creative ideas, tips and suggestions for plants to grow indoors and outdoors.

Commenting, Melissa Hackney, Groups Sales and Marketing Manager, says: “We are a nation of gardeners in the UK, and whether you are a mad gardener, love the health benefits of being outside, or just enjoy soaking up beautiful surroundings, a garden visit is a wonderful day out for groups.

“A visit to an RHS garden should be all about being enthused and inspired, being able to immerse yourself in the surroundings, with the chance to take both ideas and inspiration home – as well as perhaps some of the lovely plants on offer in our shops.  National Gardening Week is a fantastic time to do this, with additional activities and advice on offer across all our four gardens.”
