Citation

Royal Horticultural Society (2021). RHS monitoring of native and naturalised plants and animals at its gardens and surrounding areas. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/mjksef accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-05-15.

Description

The data set consists of records gathered predominantly by staff of the Royal Horticultural Society of native and naturalised plants and animals from its gardens and surrounding areas.

Purpose

To record the wildlife and native flora that RHS gardens support.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data quality is good. Most records are verified by expert RHS staff members. Grid references have been checked against site names.

Method steps

  1. Records of native and naturalised plants and animals have been collated from RHS gardens and some surrounding areas since 1909. Data has been gathered from various sources, including paper archives and the RHS insect collection. Many modern records (post 1997) have been submitted directly to the Recorder software.
