Photography: Paul Debois n the Return of Sherlock Holmes our hero wakes Watson in the middle of the night. ‘Come, Watson, I come!’ he cries. ‘The game is afoot.’ The same could be said of the Royal Horticultural Society. There are all sorts of things going on – those who have been to any of the four RHS Gardens recently (or read this magazine over the last year or so) do not need to be as perspicacious as Sherlock Holmes to have noticed that there are diggers and people in hi-viz vests cluttering up some of the usually peaceful RHS Director pathways. There are gaps where buildings once stood Sharing our knowledge General Sue Biggs and new shiny edifces are popping up in their place. The question is, of course, ‘why’?

  • Success Stories in Plant Based Classroom Curriculum Development Colon
    Success stories in plant based classroom curriculum development Colon Success Stories in Plant Based Classroom Curriculum Development Christina Paulette Colon The New York Botanical Garden,USA The New York Botanical Garden is a leader in plant science education, with over 100 years of experience in plant science education. This past year, nearly 80,000 elementary school students and their teachers visited the Botanical Garden. Groups participated in both informal and structured learning experiences, all of which are inquiry-based, where students investigate, question, explore, and observe, much like actual scientists. Programs also promote constructivist learning, building on prior knowledge, framed in a familiar context. This case study describes how we have met the challenge of serving an expanded audience through innovative curricula that bring even richer learning opportunities into local classrooms, and beyond. Background The Botanical Garden has three facilities designed for children. The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden is the centrepiece, opened in 1998. This 12 acre indoor/outdoor garden consists of six galleries and approximately 50 hands-on exhibits that teach about plant parts and their functions, the plant life cycle, and ecosystems. Children are encouraged to use all their senses as they explore this rich learning environment. Then there is the Howell Family Garden, an outdoor gardening facility where, under the supervision of education staff, children plant and tend their own garden plots. They learn about horticulture and gardening while they tend and water plants, harvest and taste fresh produce, dig for earthworms, and make botanical crafts. GreenSchool is a structured learning environment in the Enid A.

  • RHS Annual Review 2008
    RHS Annual Review 2008 www.rhs.org.uk The RHS, the UK’s leading gardening charity 2 | RHS Annual Review 2008 From the President Welcome to the Annual Review for 2008. I became the President at the end of 2008 due to the very sad death of Peter Buckley who had been in post since 2006. Peter was tremendously involved in all aspects of the work of the Society, and was rightly proud of our successes during last year. At the beginning of the year we finalised masterplans for each of our gardens which set out exciting developments for the next 15 years. Masterplans had in part been produced for some of the gardens already, but this time a great many more people were consulted and our new plans include not only horticulture, but education, science, catering and Giles Coode-Adams retailing infrastructures. Each plan builds on the garden’s strengths, providing exemplars President of horticultural excellence whilst taking account of the specific geographical features of the region. These will enable us to share with many more gardeners our expertise in dealing with the challenges and opportunities of gardening in the 21st Century. Our flower shows were once again successful. We know that the shows are a partnership between our dedicated staff and the skill and expertise of the exhibitors, whether their stand is in the floral marquee or they have designed and built a large show garden. There is a wonderful spirit of sharing amongst the exhibitors which typifies the huge generosity of gardeners. The Campaign for School Gardening celebrated its first year anniversary in September, and we now have two dedicated regional advisors working with schools to help us inspire young minds about plants and gardening.
