The Royal Horticultural
Society’s portal to all things
related to gardens and gardening
gives an enormous amount of
motivational ideas and data about
our green living space.
It is divided into three sections
– Blogs, Photos, and Forums. The
weblogs are online diaries by RHS
staff around Britain, describing
what is going on in their gardens,
the activities and problems of the
season, and their gardening trials
and tribulations.
The photo section has a vast
choice of beautiful images of
flowers and vegetables, some taken
by professional photographers, but
most are uploaded by users of the site.
Perhaps the most useful part of this site, however, is the forum, where a huge amount of
collective horticultural intelligence is available to be used by the gardening community.
Questions and comments about almost every subject of interest to gardeners have been asked
and answered, and after a quick, and free, registration on the site anyone can contribute to the
forum. Gardening sites are plentiful on the web, but the expertise to be found here is
exceptional. Mygarden is just a small part of the much larger RHS site, and links to all the other
resources are also available at the top of the screen, including the definitive online catalogue of
plants and advice about every aspect of gardening.
