Serves as the central administrative hub for the charity, overseeing strategy, governance, membership services, publishing, and the Lindley Library.

Home to the RHS Lindley Library, one of the world's most comprehensive horticultural libraries. The Vincent Square site also includes historic halls used for events and exhibitions.

Work Culture:

A collaborative and mission-driven environment, uniting staff with a shared passion for horticulture, education, science, and conservation. The culture emphasizes expertise, innovation, and public engagement.

HQ Significance:

Vincent Square has been a historic center for the RHS for over a century, acting as a key meeting place for the horticultural community and a repository of gardening knowledge.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters reflects the RHS's commitment to horticultural heritage, the dissemination of knowledge (through its library), and fostering a community passionate about gardening.

Location:

While its physical gardens and primary operations are UK-based, the Royal Horticultural Society exerts a significant global influence. This is achieved through its internationally recognized horticultural research, influential publications, the prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) system for plants (used worldwide), and collaborations with international botanical gardens and horticultural organizations. The RHS's standards in plant nomenclature, cultivation, and garden design are respected globally, and it attracts an international membership and audience for its digital content and shows.
