    On a positive note the gardens are much more welcoming these days, when we first visited over 30 years ago children were begrudgingly allowed in, no picnicking or games or play areas, it was all a bit stuffy. They have play areas now and the usual kids' education centre, easter egg hunts and that sort of thing.

      A lovely amble John. :thumbsup: Wisley is a place I've never managed to visit and unlikely to happen now.

        We are staying with some friends in June and are going to Wisley, we haven't been for 10 years or more. @JWK I couldn't see a Strongylodon, only Thunbergia mysorensis in that photo unless I have missed something.:scratch:
