Welcome to the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland
The RHSI Garden at Russborough is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 10.30 to 3.30 when the volunteers are at work. All welcome. Plants and produce are on sale - cash only please.
Hello to all RHSI members, whether cocooning, self-isolating, or out there doing the essential jobs keeping all of us safe. Covid-19 is changing all our plans, reprioritising our schedules, and making us grateful for what we have. For many of us, our gardens are real havens in this unsettling time. We can’t run RHSI workshops, garden visits, or tours at present. However we will do our best to share garden ideas by email to members and on social media. We have also moved our lecture series to a digital format. Take a look at our event section for upto date information on our Zoom series. Our new Garden Expertise page will bring you articles and tips.
Regretfully, the RHSI would like to confirm to members that all tours for 2020 are cancelled. A tour schedule for 2021 will be circulated at a later date. Refunds will be made for all bookings. In the meantime we have collated some nice images from 2019 and we would like to thank all of our hardworking volunteers for contributing to a memorable year.
