How our exclusive RHS endorsement will increase demand from your customers and boost your profits Established in 1804, the Royal Horticultural Society has a worldwide reputation for inspiring gardeners of all ages and abilities by sharing the best in gardening. They do this through their magnificent gardens, internationally renowned shows, website and publications. All four RHS gardens use Melcourt products, from peat-free composts to mulches and soil improvers. Such first-hand knowledge of the quality and performance has led to their desire to endorse the ranges. The RHS believes that gardening improves the quality of life and that everyone should have access to great garden experiences. As a charity it helps to bring gardening into people s lives and support gardeners of all levels and abilities; whether they are expert horticulturists or children who are planting seeds for the very first time. The RHS has over 445,000 members, more than 2 million annual visitors to its gardens and shows and 1.7 million unique monthly visits to its website. All this means they are the UK s leading gardening charity and their endorsement is a major influencer when gardeners are choosing gardening and other products whether they are members of the RHS or not. Their reach extends beyond their own membership via extensive TV and radio coverage (over 80 million BBC TV and radio audience, plus a 68 million print press reach during the 2015 RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show alone). As the RHS only endorses gardening products that have a *proven, tried and tested track record, their endorsement is recognised and trusted by both professional and amateur gardeners as the mark of a truly excellent horticultural product. *Melcourt composts and mulches have been tested and approved by the RHS gardeners.
