RHS Gardening Advice

The RHS Gardening Advice stands are staffed by experts who provide advice to visitors on all plant and gardening queries, no matter how large or small. We are committed to protecting plant health and ask that visitors bring photographs of their plant problems to the show rather than live plant material. This applies when visiting the RHS Gardening Advice stands or exhibitors in the Floral Marquee.
