    Great to see the Hyde Hall & Wisley gardens, thanks @Buzy-Lizzie & @ chicky. I wasn’t sure how busy they’d be but after seeing your photos I may book to go now. In the meantime I’ve been getting my garden fix looking at the virtual garden tours on the NGS website, as I usually spend a lot of my weekends visiting them.

    Lovely garden pics, thanks @Busy-Lizzie - and @chicky, happy memories of visiting Wisley with you and other Forum members last summer...   :)
    I loved it! 😊 
    still have pictures of all the plants, and still remember the name of Watsonia, because “it’s like Doctor Watson” 😂😄

    First ever visit to Hever Castle today.  Really impressed - some fantastic woodland/wet areas and a nice rose garden.  Add in some topiary and fountains and it really is an amazing place

    I love Hever Castle, been there several times.

    We went to Peter Beales Classic Roses today. The garden was looking fabulous.

    @chicky the last post hadn't posted so I've just posted it.

    The RHS gardens have hourly booking slots but you can sty as long as you like until the garden closes. They are just trying to stagger entry to avoid long queues @Treeface We went to Hyde Hall and I didn't pay as I'm a member, OH was free as my guest.

    Same at Wisley - you have to arrive in a certain time slot but can stay as long as you like (well until closing anyway).

    Lovely pics in the last post too Lizzie - roses and salvias are a lovely combination 💜💕
