The SS has announced RHS Photographic Competition. The Royal Horticultural Society’s Photographic Competition encourages both young and old to get outside and capture how enriching and encouraging gardens and plants can be. All individuals from children to adults are eligible to apply for this competition. This year’s 2021 competition has been kindly being now open. And allows you to step out of your house, with all the safety measures as per the COVID-19 guidelines and snap the best picture! So, if photography is something that excites you, then, this opportunity is for you!
The “RHS Photographic Competition” is an initiative to encourage all people young and old alike to experience and appreciate the flora around them, in the form of plants and gardens. Home gardens, along with urban gardens, parks, and other green areas, are critical components of the restoration of lost habitat. Gardeners will contribute to the restoration of some of nature’s harmony by planning their landscape with wildlife in mind. They also have a therapeutic impact on humans.
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), formerly known as the Horticultural Society of London, is the UK’s leading gardening charity. It was established in 1804 as the Horticultural Society of London. The RHS encourages horticulture through its four, soon to be five, gardens at Wisley (Surrey), Hyde Hall (Essex), Harlow Carr (Yorkshire), Rosemoor (Devon), and Bridgewater (Greater Manchester); flower shows such as the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, Tatton Park Flower Show, and Cardiff Flower Show; group gardening schemes; and flower shows such as the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, Tatton Park Flower Show; Britain in Bloom, as well as a comprehensive school scheme. It also promotes gardening education for both professionals and amateurs. Keith Weed is the new president, and Sue Biggs CBE is the current director-general.
