Another set of cracking pictures it looks a really lovely place, where exactly is Wisley? We may visit if we get a chance.

Thanks everyone, i love this place !

Bj ..... i bought an Alpine (Clematis mormaria), a Phlox (adsurgens), 2 Dahlias ('Renoir' and 'Arts Fair') and Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' !!!!!

Jacque, we walked from 10.00 - 4.30 (only saw 3/4 of the place then!) .... had about 40 minutes sit down when we had our picnic but other than that .... on our feet constantly.
If you were to spread the visit over 2 days it would be ideal, in my opinion, i've never done that though !

Bob, Wisley's in Surrey, a very beautiful part of the world it is there too :)
Definately DO try and go, it's awe-inspiring.

Grannysue....... i'm having a senior moment and can't for the life of me remember the name/word for that last plant .... please help me out someone !!! (very worrying to be having these moments in my 40s!)

Looks like you had a good day at Wisley Louise. I love to go there as often as I can, and Hyde Hall too. Like the stone sinks with the sempervivums. Mine don't look like that. Must give them a makeover. Weather looked good .Hope you enjoyed yourself.
