There’s plenty to see all year round, including the famous 128-metre long Mixed Borders leading up to colourful Battleston Hill; the Glasshouse, a soaring, Cathedral-like space the size of ten tennis courts which is home to more than 5,000 tropical and tender plants; and the Rock Garden, originally built in 1912 and containing a stream and numerous waterfalls lined with alpine plants and small trees. In 2017, a new Exotic Garden was opened to show how a tropical-style planting of palms, cannas and dahlias could be created in a UK climate, and in spring 2018 Wisley opened its new Wisteria Walk, the longest in the country at 75 metres.
There is always something happening, from family fun during the school holidays to exciting installations like the Glow illuminations which light up the Garden over the festive season and the Wisley Flower Show in September. For more information and to find out what’s on, visit the website.
