BENEFITS OF RHSI AFFILIATED CLUBS AND SOCIETIES MEMBERSHIP 2022-2023
Being a member of a local garden club or society is hugely enjoyable- gaining horticultural knowledge while building social contacts and friendships based on a common love of gardening.
And...
If that club or society is also affiliated to the RHSI there are even more benefits.
For an annual fee of €60 the club receives…
1. A researched list of Guest Speakers with topics, background and contact information. The talks are either by Zoom or in person as negotiated with the speaker.
2. €50 annual subsidy towards a speaker’s fee.
3. Entitlement to join the RHSI Affiliated Clubs and Societies Insurance Scheme. Specially tailored for club activities and at a price that will not be bettered by approaching an individual insurance company.
4. The RHSI Journal twice yearly to share contents with club members.
5. The twice monthly eBulletin, to be forwarded on to members as wished. members can view many of the Zoom lectures listed in the Bulletin free or for a small fee.
6. RHSI membership card- for one club committee member.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Only individual RHSI members are entitled to free/ reduced Partner Garden entry, garden centre, other garden visit reductions etc. Please do check out the website for these great individual membership benefits.
There is plenty of very useful information on the main website for the general public- whether RHSI members or not.
Garden clubs and societies are the lifeblood of the gardening community throughout the country. Even the most pleasurable gardening can be quite a solitary occupation, and thus sharing time and ideas with like-minded folk in a garden group can hugely enhance and expand ones’s gardening world.
The majority of these groups organise garden visits during the spring and summertime, and monthly lectures in person or by Zoom during the autumn and winter. They may also have plant sales or swaps. The great social interactions and friendships that develop within these groups are guaranteed!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND A GARDENING CLUB IN YOUR AREA?
We would like our RHSI website to be the go-to place for the general public to enquire about gardening clubs and societies, whether these clubs are affiliated to the RHSI or not. (And of course we’d like them all to be!)
If you wish to find a club to join in your locality, please consult our county by county list in this section. Then request the individual club contact details from us in the RHSI at rhsiacs@gmail.com. (For GDPR reasons we cannot post contact information directly onto the website.)
WE ARE BUILDING OUR LIST OF CLUBS/SOCIETIES
Our countywide list is far from complete. If you are aware of any clubs not on the list, we would greatly appreciate if you would send the club name and contact email address to us at rhsiacs@gmail.com and we’ll check if they want to go on our list.
The second list is of clubs for which we have no contact information. Some may not even still be running. Any help again to rhsiacs@gmail.com would also be greatly appreciated.
