We might be able to visit Wisley at the end of October. Do you think there will be much to see then? Is it worth going then?

Hi Chris,

I'm afraid I don't know enough to say what might be in season or not. This weekend there were plants at the end of their season and I suspect there will be seasons when Wisley is better.

Will it be worth going? I would say yes. There'll be the pinetum, national heather collection and glasshouse if nothing else. The glasshouse was opened last year and I have some photos of it from my visit, it's very impressive. I also suspect that the RHS know enough to make sure the rest of the gardens look great :o)

I enjoy just being outside so I think I'd like the gardens in any season. If you're there 17-20 October the 'taste of autumn' festival is on - I also have photos of that from our visit last year. Let me know if you decide to go.

We don't arrive in UK till 25th Oct so it would be the following week sometime.

Ah, so you'll miss the festival then. The glasshouse should be good as it's going through routine maintenance at the moment. We didn't actually go in when we visited this time as it was so nice outside but there was a sign up at the entrance saying sections would be closed over the next week or two. Should be all completed by the time you're here :o)

I love the vibrant colors against that beautiful, rich green...
