Lottery Boost For New RHS Centre

The Royal Horticultural Society is set to receive a £4m cash injection from the National Lottery to help develop a world-leading initiative at its flagship garden in Wisley, Surrey.

The National Centre for Horticultural Science and Learning will open in 2020 and will allow the RHS to conserve and showcase more than a million nationally important science and heritage items. They’ll include a Chilean potato brought to this country by Charles Darwin in 1834 and lavender collected in France in 1731.
