All horticultural societies including the International Society for Horticultural Science are related to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). The origins of the RHS are contained in a letter dated June 29,1801, by John Wedgwood to William Forsyth, gardener to King George III: I have been turning my attention to the formation of a Horticultural Society and have drawn up such heads as have appeared to me necessary for the first formation of the Society. It would be proper to add a preamble, just stating the ideas of the first founders of the Society, and intimating that we wish to clash with no society at present instituted whose plans are different from ours. By this means we shall give no offence to any party. By not binding ourselves to publish annually we shall not be obliged to expose ourselves to the world in an imperfect state by publishing papers not worth making public.
