Welcome to the RHS of Perthshire
We are an enthusiastic Group of friendly amateurs who enjoy gardening!
We love it all – cut flowers, potted plants, vegetables, fruit, floral art and importantly the general care of the environment!
The Royal Horticultural Society of Perthshire founded in 1806 is the second oldest horticultural Society in Scotland! Times, however, have changed immeasurably for the Society. Currently we are moving ahead to preserve our precious history including some of the early dated trophies and medals.
Most importantly, however, it is time to look at new directions, new ways of working and new partnerships.
Let’s grow together!
You too can grow new shoots, learn plant skills or pass on some of your expertise to those just starting out.
If you are a novice grower, come and put your foot on the first rung of the ladder for an exciting growing experience today.
Go on try something new and sow the seed for a bright and colourful future.
