Lindley Library

[2] The Upper Reading Room is open to the public and holds the 20th-century material available for loans, along with gardening magazines from around the world.

[1] In 1995, the RHS proposed to relocate the main collection from London to Wisley, but architect Rick Mather redesigned the accommodation to make better use of the basement.

[4][5] The Heritage Lottery Fund assisted the renovation with a grant, one condition of which was that the library should be opened up to public access.

[6] It also includes other media such as garden guidebooks, trade catalogues, postcards and press cuttings.

More recently were Peter Stageman (1957) and Dr Brent Elliott who was librarian (1982–2007), and subsequently the RHS historian.
