RHS Wisley Plant Fair 2015

Nice blog...I love that floral 'Cake' isn't that spectacular. :)I don't envy your journey, but it wasn't too bad when you think you had to go on the M25. :)

Please overload us Shirley. I love Wisley....lucky you.

So many delightful pictures on here.

What a wonderful variety of displays, colours and plants. The cake is brilliant and I love the little cyclamens and the heucheras.

It was worth the trek to get there, so much to see and do.

Thank you so much for your blog Shirley. I hear so much about Wisley I've often wondered what it was like, but it's just too far to go. Now my curiosity has been satisfied I can't wait to see your next blog. Overloaded? Not a bit :))

Oh WoW......
I'm speechless with envy Shirley

I want to go so badly now its an utter delight, I didn't realise how incredibly beautiful it is
thanks for braving the M25.....

My favourite garden. I have been there many-many times but not this year. Lovely place to visit. Traffic on the M25 unbearable at rush hour. It took us 4 hours and 10 minutes to drive from Maidstone in Kent to our home in Middlesex.

Smashing Sheila, haven't been to Wisley for years, must go for a visit again.

Karen, you should have seen how many folk touched the top of that cake, pretty sure some thought it was real!

Linda, my camera battery died just as we got to the Bonsai area but I have a few to show you in another blog, hope to do that later tonight.

Chris, that's two RHS gardens in a month for us!

Thanks Julia, glad you enjoyed the photos.

Pam, it has definitely improved since our visit of about twelve years ago, so much to see.

Oh hello Costas, how are you? Yes, that motorway is always busy, any time of night or day I believe :o(

Siris, you really must get up there. There was a Park & Ride system and if you Google RHS Wisley there are some excellent ideas for how to get there.

Thank you
for sharing this Shirley as I can't imagine I would ever get there from here !
I just love the little Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter!
The cake is amazing and all those lovely Heucheras !

Hi Rose, I also loved those figures, not as much as all the plants though! It was an overcast day but it didn't spoilt our enjoyment at Wisley. I actually thought of GoY members when I saw the Heuchera bed :o)

A lovely Blog and super photo's Shirley..It brought back some lovely memories..and it was one of the first blogs with pics,I posted when I joined Goy..along with Chelsea and Kew,when we went on a 3 day break..2008,if I remember rightly:o)The Floral cake is wonderful,and the Heuchera beds,along with Vicky's stall are gorgeous..so glad you had a lovely day out..well worth braving the M25 for :o) x

Sandra, Glad this has stirred some good memories for you. We went to Chelsea Flower Show once but I found it too claustrophobic, the crowds were awful! Really should visit Kew again as we've not been there for years. As for the M25, the less said about that, the better! :o)

We didn't find Chelsea as crowded as we imagined it would be,Shirley..yes,it was busy,but we were able to get around ok..It was worse in the Marquees,but then again,it always is,wherever you go..I feel like you about our M62..I hate every mile of it !

Sandra, I am happy to watch the coverage on TV now!

I have lost confidence in motorway driving so Michael does it all! I can't be doing with drivers weaving in and out of the lanes, scares me. Loving our new car, so quiet and such a smooth ride after the old one. :o)

I know what you mean Shirley..I hold on to the seat,and push my feet down hard,when anything scary happens...why on earth I think I can do anything,sitting in the passenger seat,I don't know ! Lol glad you are happy with your new car..:o)

Super Shirley. Enjoyed that. Love the Iresine herbstii ‘Brilliantissima and Salvia. It must have been a lovely day.

Is that you Lincs ... you're disguised as Iciar again! It was a good day out ... despite the cloudy weather. :o)

What a smashing blog, loved all the photos Shirley, we keep saying we must go, you have saved us a visit now !!
Looking forward to your next blog...??

Thanks for liking the tour round Wisley, Angela, but there were lots of areas I couldn't take photos of as the camera battery packed up :o(
