Victoria Medal of Honour

March 11, 2023

This article is about the Royal Horticultural Society award. For other uses, see Victoria Medal (disambiguation).
"VMH" redirects here. For the morphological nucleus, see ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.

The Victoria Medal of Honour (VMH) is awarded to British horticulturists resident in the United Kingdom whom the Royal Horticultural Society Council considers deserving of special honour by the Society.[1]

The award was established in 1897 "in perpetual remembrance of Her Majesty's glorious reign, and to enable the Council to confer honour on British horticulturists." The Society's rules state that only sixty-three horticulturists can hold the VMH at any given time, in commemoration of the sixty-three years of Queen Victoria's reign. Therefore, the honour is not awarded every year, but may be made to multiple recipients in other years.
