Administrative committees

There are also 11 administrative committees and sub-committees providing advice on science, education, shows, libraries and fundraising.

These committees disseminate the knowledge of their members to a wider gardening audience across the UK and overseas, thereby fulfilling the learned society remit of the RHS. A number of the plant committees are operated jointly with specialist plant societies.
