How does your garden grow?

We focused on the wonderful Wisley for last week’s post. There we discovered a picturesque bridge almost consumed by Wisteria, a striking walled garden that led to a loggia and canal of water lilies. Not forgetting a state-of-the-art Glasshouse with its a mind-blowing collection of plants.

RHS Wisley set out to capture the imagination and it certainly did. Which is why we’re back again this week!

We wandered down the path down to the Arboretum and Fruit Field where we saw ripening grapes and an orchard has apples and pears being harvested. The crab apples and berries also looked rather tempting!

The best view seemed to be from the top of the Glasshouse borders down to the Glasshouse. Up the hill from there we arrived at the broadwalk on Battleston Hill where we found Hydrangeas with large pointy heads. The Trials Fields a bit further up showcased award winning Dahlias, Blackberries and Clematis.

The Bowes-Lyon Rose garden featured hundreds of roses with the nearby top terrace offering views of the mixed borders. Incredible that some of the combinations were put together by the team at Wisley and the team that worked at the Olympic Park. The scenery is just spectacular wherever you turn.

The Glasshouse is a bit like walking into a jungle with all the palms and creepers everywhere. We saw beautiful and exotic plants as well as an impressive Fuchsia collection just near a waterfall.

I love the Glasshouse, could have stayed there all day!
