Today in #PlantHealthWeek let's #KeepItClean to the beat! 🔊🧹🥾🚿
Soil and leaves can carry plant pathogens so always #CleanYourBoots when you’ve been out in nature. In this small way, everyone can help protect #TreeHealth

@The_RHS Qualifications and others are currently at risk due to current skills reforms.
We know that RHS quals are vital for many learners and employers in the Hort. industry, and are politely asking for your help.
RTs appreciated.

Fine day for a wander up to and around Battleston hill @RHSWisley to see 1) the #fungi log pile, now with shiny new interpretation board, 2) how the sweet chestnuts that survived the '87 storm are doing after Eunice, & 3) blossoming magnolias 🥰💚

Prompted by @CheckChestnut’s tweet rhs.org.uk/science/help-our-… I downloaded Treezilla, took a tape measure on a walk and added data for Yorkshire to track the health of sweet chestnuts. Is your area covered? @GatsbyPlantScEd @RSB_PlantSci @cobwebdr
