We enjoy visiting all of the RHS gardens from time to time. We would like to go more often but they involve long journeys and only one is doable in one day.
In mid-March we travelled down south of London and stayed in a hotel in Woking which is very close to RHS Wisley, which we visited the following day. The gardens are simply too large to enjoy in their entirety so we chose the areas we wanted to see most of all.
There was a special reason for choosing the date for visiting. A display of artwork in the greenhouse featured screen printing panels created by ‘Post 19’, a Life Skills and Support Centre for young adults with learning difficulties based in Farnham. We know about this very special place because our sister-in-law Vicky teaches there. I think it best to start with their display for you to enjoy.
Before entering the glasshouse we were attracted to these rather beefy hares boxing.
We wandered through the amazing collections of plants before finding the screen prints, which looked so effective among a selection of succulents.
I love ferns so enjoyed discovering some unusual specimens in the glasshouse. The colours merging into greens looked so striking. In others it was the textures that struck us.
Leaving the grand glasshouse we wandered slowly made our way back to the car. There was so much to grab our attention on the way, some typical of March time others pure joyful surprises.
Wisley in spring is a magical place indeed!
