Hunter Wellingtons and The Royal Horticultural Society

Hunter Wellingtons and Royal Horticultural Society

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) was founded in 1804 in London, England and granted a Royal Charter by Prince Albert in 1861. It is a charity and exists to promote gardening and horticulture in Britain and Europe. This is done through a series of flower shows at Wisley Garden, near the village of Wisley in Surrey; Rosemoor in Devon; Hyde Hall in Essex and Harlow Carr in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

The most famous RHS flower show is the annual Chelsea Flower Show, held each year on five days in May the most famous gardening event in the world and part of London's summer social season.






As every gardener knows the British weather can be temperamental at the best of times so it is no surprise about Hunters latest boot collaboration, which features a beautiful range of designs inspired by the society's botanical art archive. They feature fresh prints and patterns from artists including Lilian Selling (who was awarded the Victoria Medal of Honour in 1955), Georg Dionysius Ehret, Emily Sartain, and Augusta Innes Withers.


These boots have been made with the gardener in mind and designed especially for the Royal Horticultural Society. The RHS Hunters come in a Tall Original, Short, and Clog perfect for keeping at the back door for impromptu errands outside or a spot of light gardening whatever the time of year.
