Quick Thought of the Month

RHS is a charity but has become very commercial in the recent past.
RHS should donate a large number of appropriate books such as ‘Vegetable & Fruit Gardening’ to libraries through out the UK.
This helps budding gardeners, increases the RHS brand awareness and fulfills part of their charitable remit.
