RHS Gardens Wisley
The gardens are magnificent and full of colour and life, whatever the season.
We love the maze-like Alpine Meadow
The Glasshouse
The Glasshouse conceals a tropical world complete with a jungle canopy, desert
It also has a waterfall, a cave with an exhibition about plants and roots and even hosts free-flying butterflies during the winter.
The Gardens
Wisley’s grounds are extensive so make sure you pick up a map.
The many walking routes lead past orchards, view points, hillside gardens, formal gardens, wild gardens
several ponds, and small waterfalls as well as a walled garden with a lily pond and fountain.
Outdoor Play Areas
There are a couple of places to play – a den building area
and a wild playground with an obstacle course, and bridge and rope climbing frames.
Cafes and an Indoor Play Area
Scattered around the gardens are several picnic areas and cafes.
The Glasshouse Cafe has a small, indoor soft play area, although this is not in the main part of the cafe and we have never managed to find a free table there.
Christmas Glow
During the Christmas season, Wisley lights up the night with Wisley’s Christmas Glow.
Huge lanterns light your path around the gardens.
Festive lights illuminate plants inside
and outside.
