RHS Partners with Cottage Delight

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has announced a significant new partnership in the food and drink category.

It has licensed Cottage Delight, a popular name in artisan jams, marmalades, curds, chutneys, table sauces and more, to produce an RHS range of food, alcohol gifting and confectionery. The products in the range will be available in both gift sets and as single items.

For gifting, special occasions or just a family treat, there will be gift food sets, beer and cider gifting and hampers.

Single food items will include RHS-branded versions of Cottage Delight’s famous preserves, chutneys, pickles, sauces and marmalade. Beer, cider and confectionery are also part of this wide-ranging offering.

Arriving at retail in spring 2025, the range will be available at high street and online retailers and through the Cottage Delight website.

Packaging designs will take their inspiration from the RHS Lindley Collections, one of the world’s finest collections of botanical art. The RHS encourages partners to be creative with its design assets, and Cottage Delight’s designers will be adapting RHS-supplied artworks to produce a unique packaging concept.

“We are thrilled to embark on this collaboration,” says Sophie Denley-Hunt, range and development manager, Cottage Delight. “The potential for creativity is vast thanks to the large collection of artworks held within the RHS, which is inspiring our designs. This partnership means not only will we reach new audiences, but we believe the range will resonate deeply with the RHS customer base. We are honored to be awarded this opportunity and are eager to take this journey together.”“With its strong emphasis on artisan production and high-quality food and drink, underlined by numerous awards, not to mention a commitment to sustainable packaging and food preparation methods, Cottage Delight is a very welcome addition to the RHS licensing program,” says Cathy Snow, licensing manager, RHS. “And, of course its products are delicious.”
