Wisley Getting Arty

We are regular visitors to RHS Wisley for the gardens and in particular the tropical glass house.

The RHS promise a weekend of artistic fun and festivity. With live music in the garden, as well as  theatre performances, an abundance of craft stands and demonstrations plus a programme of poetry and literary talks.
