Heritage
Since 1852, The London Horticultural Society has promoted the value of horticulture and gardening in our daily lives. This has been done through tree plantings, the planting and maintenance of flowerbeds throughout the city, hosting flower shows and informative speakers at our monthly meetings.
Mission
We are dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of horticulture in all its forms. Through our events, workshops, and publications, we provide a platform for enthusiasts and professionals to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and advance the field of horticulture.
