The RHS appoints Danilo as its diaries and calendars partner

The Royal Horticultural Society has appointed the licensed calendar, greetings cards, gift wrap and diaries publisher as its new calendar and diary partner.

The coming year will see Danilo produce a wide range of 2021 RHS calendars and diaries. The items will feature photographic images of RHS gardens, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and plant portraits, alongside illustrative images selected from the RHS Lindley Collections.

The range will feature a number of product formats, including the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Slim Calendar, RHS Gardens Square Calendar, and the RHS The Collection A5 Diary. Also available will be the RHS Gardens Slim Diary, RHS Fruit and Flowers Slim Calendar, and the RHS Illustrated Slim Diary.

The collection will be completed with the RHS Easel Calendar and the RHS Family Organiser.

Two deluxe products will also feature under the new partnership: An RHS A3 Calendar with botanical illustrations from the RHS Lindley Collections – in a special tear-off format so the artworks can be framed, and an RHS Collectors Gift Box Set featuring the RHS Gardens Square Calendar, the A5 Diary and a pen in a deluxe box.

The calendars and diaries will be available at a wide range of book, card and gift shops, as well as supermarkets, department stores and RHS shops from September 2020. They will also be widely available at online retail, including rhsshop.co.uk and danilo.com. A selection of these products will launch at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2020.

The market for the range is expected to be RHS members and gardening enthusiasts as well as gift givers of all ages.

Dan Grant, licensing director, Danilo, said: “Not only is the RHS the world’s best-known gardening charity, enjoying unmatched levels of awareness, but it has supplied an extraordinary selection of beautiful photographic imagery and artwork to inspire the designs of our calendars and diaries. We are delighted to be working with the RHS on this range.”

Cathy Snow, licensing manager, RHS, added: “Danilo is highly recognised and well regarded in its industry, with innovative and award-winning product designs.

“This range wonderfully reflects the varied and inspirational work of the RHS and will be popular not only with lovers of gardens and gardening but with anyone who loves calendars and diaries that are both useful and beautifully designed.”

The RHS extends partnership with Heathcote & Ivory for new Flower Blooms Lavender Garden collection

The Royal Horticultural Society has extended its partnership with the British beauty and fine toiletries brand, Heathcote & Ivory for the launch of its 2020 line, the RHS Flower Blooms Lavender Garden collection.

The third in the RHS Flower Blooms series, this collection contains shower gel, scented soap, body lotion and hand cream as well as a set of three hand creams and a weekend away bag containing body wash and body lotion.

Accessories include garden drawer liners, pillow mist and a lavender-filled eye mask. All the items in the collection offer bespoke formulations blended with botanical extracts of wisteria and lilac with Lavandula essential oil.

The items also make use of lavender-themed designs inspired by artwork from the RHS Lindley Collections, the world’s largest collection of botanical art. It’s not just the designs that are inspired by the RHS, but the fragrance too, inspired by the scent of the Lavandula x intermedia Olympia.

RHS Flower Blooms Lavender Garden launches at retail in spring 2020. The range will also be previewed at Spring Fair at the NEC in Birmingham from February, 2 to 6 2020 at the Heathcote & Ivory stand (Hall 3 Q10-R11). Heathcote & Ivory will be targeting leading department stores and garden centres, all of which are among the regular stockists of Heathcote & Ivory products. The range will also be available online at heathcote-ivory.com

The RHS Flower Blooms Lavender Garden collection is the latest range from the RHS partnership with Heathcote & Ivory. The partnership launched in spring 2019 with Flower Blooms Daisy Garland and Tender Palm, two ranges comprising gift sets of washes, lotions and creams for hand and body as well as standalone shower gels, body lotions and hand creams. Trellis, the second in the RHS Flower Blooms series, launched in the autumn of this year.

Denis Aaronson, managing director, Heathcote & Ivory, said: “RHS has been a welcome addition to our select licensing portfolio of some of the UK’s leading design and lifestyle brands. The resources of the RHS Lindley Collections and the strength of the RHS brand have been perfect inspiration for this gorgeous lavender-themed collection.”

Cathy Snow, licensing manager, RHS, added: “Lavender is a much-loved fragrance and a popular plant among gardeners – an ideal inspiration for the RHS Flower Blooms Lavender Garden collection. Our partnership with Heathcote & Ivory has already inspired some wonderful collections and this range is no exception.”
