Wisley Part Five – The Centenary Glasshouse

I promised you a sample of the delights of the RHS’s Centenary Glasshouse, and here they are.

Usually in glasshouses the flowers are the stars of the show so just for a change let us begin by bringing foliage to the fore and letting leaves revel in the lime-light.

Foliage in all shapes, sizes, textures, markings and colours are to be found around every corner.

A retired primary school head teacher, I now spend much of my time gardening in our quarter acre plot in rural Shropshire south of Shrewsbury. I share my garden with Jude my wife a newly retired teacher , eight assorted chickens and a plethora of wildlife. Jude does all the heavy work as I have a damaged spine and right leg. We also garden on an allotment nearby. We are interested in all things related to gardens, green issues and wildlife.

I’ve just spent a very enjoyable time reading through your Wisley posts… and wow! It’s on my to do list this year (it was on my list last year but I never got around to it). The sculptures are lovely and that greenhouse is certainly a site to behold! Thanks Malc for an enjoyable set of posts x

Do make sure you go! When you have been once you just keep having to go back. We have a 4 hour drive to get there so we spend a couple of days exploring the gardens every time. Always a treat.
