If you’re thinking of studying RHS courses now is the time. Why study the RHS course online? Spring is almost here, or spring is already here depending on whether you subscribe to the meteorological or astrological calendar. In the former case, spring begins on the 1st of March. In the latter, spring does not begin
As counsellors and everyone else knows, science likes to ruin everything and the chemistry of love is no different a topic. Just like how science has ruined our space fantasies with claims that faster-than-light travel is impossible or that porcine animals can never fly.

I came into the horticultural world in 2010, not intentionally. I was just looking for a job. I randomly put my CV into a garden centre that my parents and I often shopped at. I got a call for an interview. We talked about Danish trollies, and I remember thinking ‘what is a Danish trolly?’
