Wisley visit

Last Wednesday I visited Wisley on the way down from Suffolk to Somerset. It's a great place to break the journey being half way between. I took a few pictures, it was bright sunshine and as usual full of visitors of all ages. There was even some filming going on in the garden. Help me out with the name of the gardening presenter. He was struggling to remember his words as he talked to camera and had to do several retakes. He wasn't helped by the curious visitors who stopped to look!

I wish I could remember his name!

A future generation of gardeners admiring the fish.


It's costing 7.7 million to build and it will have a lake in front of it to watch it's reflection.
The recently completed lake and the pagoda in the distance.
The cyclamen looked stunning in this large drift. It was such a lovely day I could have stayed there much longer but the joy of Wisley is that whenever you go there is something new to see, whether its plant or people watching.

 

It wasn't Diamund Gavin was it?

 

No it wasn't him, not enough curly hair, I would know him anywhere - I've just realised I didn't include the picture Here it is I hope.

 

Joe Swift.

 

Whos that then? :D
Looks like a good visit is in order once those greenhouses are finished.

 

Joe Swift (now why did I think his name was Bob) Pete is the seconder in gardening programmes including garderns world :D :D :D

Thanks Roders.
Fran I thought his name was Will something so I'm pleased that someone was able to remember his name.
