RHS Wisley autumn colours

Some trees are starting to colour up:












The bonsai walk is autumn in miniature:

 

Pumpkins:

 

We were there in the last few days but didn't see any pumpkins! Still love that place

 

Funnily enough we were thinking that as we walked around, because someone had stolen a big statue from Wisley a few weeks ago. Goodness knows how they got it out.

In the trials fields there is a sign informing us that many plants have been stolen over the last few months, visitors are causing more damage than rabbits and deer - it's a poor show.

The Wisley Bonsai are wired down but I hadn't realised they were worth that much!

 

There's quite a few access points around the site so probably wasn't that tricky but it is very disheartening that all this thievery goes on

 

Really enjoyed to see your pics @JWK I have only ever been there once And it was at the end of October too many years ago but it was beautiful and the memory has stayed with me..So your pics are a pleasure to see

 

Thanks @Marley Farley - it will be worth visiting again if you ever get the chance. The gardens have changed considerably over the years, new areas have been planted and improved. Every time we go it seems there is something new. The new welcome entrance area is underway and due to open next spring. Just this week we noticed all the small model gardens are being dug up and three new gardens are going to replace those. I guess you last visited before the new glasshouse was opened about 10 years ago? I think it rivals the Kew glasshouses and again there is always something different happening inside, some exhibition or specialist plant show.

 

I curtain,y hope I get there again JWK.. Looking at your pics it looks very different to when I was there and they didn’t have a glass house to rival Kew’s when I was there.. I think I need to put it on next years to do list I think..

 

Well worth the trip Marley! Not sure the glasshouse rivals Kew but it is a spectacular place (and has a waterfall)
