The Royal Horticultural Society has licensed independent publisher Michael O?Mara Books to produce a range of RHS books. These include a colouring book, a postcard book, a notebook and a diary. The titles are RHS Notes and Quotes, RHS Postcard Book, RHS Postcards to Colour and RHS Colouring Diary.

An RHS spokesperson said: ?RHS Notes and Quotes contains inspirational quotations from gardeners and horticultural experts, pages for jottings and musings, and space for drawings. Both RHS Postcard Book and RHS Postcards to Colour contain 20 cards.

?RHS Colouring Diary is a beautifully designed diary, which, like RHS Postcards to Colour, offers owners the chance to try out their colouring skills. All four publications make use of superb illustrations from the RHS Lindley Library, the world?s finest collection of botanic art?.

Cathy Snow, Licensing Manager for the RHS, said: ?These books make excellent use of images from the RHS Lindley Library and are not only beautifully designed and presented but practical and inspirational. This is a delightful range of books that will be popular with horticulture lovers everywhere.?

RHS Notes and Quotes, RHS Postcard Book and RHS Postcards to Colour will be available from late May. RHS Colouring Diary will be published in late June.
