RHS Garden, Wisley
RHS Garden, Wisley, Botanical garden in Guildford, England.
RHS Garden is a horticultural space in Guildford that spans wide grounds and features different sections like herbaceous borders, rock gardens, and greenhouses. The site also functions as a research center where plants are studied and their growth documented.
A gardener named George Ferguson Wilson established an experimental garden in 1878, which was later taken over by other owners and eventually given to the Royal Horticultural Society. This transfer in the early 1900s transformed the location into what it is today.
The garden bears the name of the Royal Horticultural Society and displays how plants from different climates grow side by side in one space. Visitors can watch gardeners at work daily, tending to collections that show the breadth of horticultural practice.
The garden is accessible on most days, and visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions, so sturdy footwear is recommended. Parking is available and the grounds are extensive, so allow time for exploring.
The grounds hold one of the most extensive plant collections in Britain, which is regularly researched and documented. This collection makes it an important source of knowledge about plant varieties and their needs.
