    Its a great garden, I went last year with the hardy tropicals lot, although it was mid winter so we only really spent time in the new glass house. Id like to see the garden in the summer, did you see the long borders?

    Here are some photos from our 2007 meet

    Nice photos strongy. Wisleys nearly on my doorstep, we used to go a lot when the kids were younger to feed the fish in the lakes. We've only been once this year. I like the Rockery and the veg garden at the top, I used to like the model gardens but they have hardly changed for years which is a bit boring now.

    Must go again myself, not been for about three years or so.

    Would like to see more of the new glass house if you have any strongy.

    Didn't take many more Pete, I think Pal did when he went (if you want to search back).
    The new glasshouse was not as hot as I thought it would but the tropical plants seemed to be thriving.
    The long borders still had colour but were just statrting to go over.
