The Rhode Island Horticultural Society

Rhode Island gardeners, horticulturists and nursery professionals around the State need and want to be better connected. Visitors to the State have some difficulty finding information about gardens or gardening activities. Many groups compete for the same audience and funding resources. The RIHS will be the catalyst to mitigate these problems and create a better understanding of gardening and horticulture and how it can better our quality of life.
