Enjoy Lantern-Lit Gardens at RHS Garden Wisley Christmas Glow
As soon as we arrived at RHS Garden Wisley, we knew we were beginning a Christmas tradition. The gardens were open late and we arrived after dark. Everywhere was pitch black except for the trails of fairy lights, illuminated trees, glowing reflections and massive flower sculptures. The atmosphere is magical and gives a huge boost to your Christmas spirit.
RHS Wisley Christmas Glow
The gardens were open late and we arrived after dark.
Everywhere was pitch black except for the trails of fairy lights, illuminated trees, glowing reflections and massive flower sculptures.
Huge Lanterns
The lanterns included a huge mistletoe archway,
floating lotus flowers,
clusters of daffodils and flowers that change colour at the click of a button.
Festive Lighting
Lights pick out plants and garden features and also work their magic inside the Glasshouse.
This is the waterfall!
Darkness
I had been concerned that the children might be scared of the darkness. In fact, they were happy to run around exploring. They particularly liked the flowers that changed colour at the click of a button, over
and over
again.
Busy but Easily Manageable
The gardens were busy but did not feel crowded. The car park was very busy but staff were on hand to guide us to a space.
Merry Christmas!
