Wiser about Wisely

Just finished watching an enjoyable and informative Netflix video about the Wisley gardens near Woking, Surrey in England.  Thought you'd like to know about it......


The pride and joy of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), Wisely (pronounced Wiss-lee) is an 800 acre demonstration, exhibition, research garden open to the public year round.

If you'd like a perspective on English gardens and gardening and how the RHS operates, check out this video.  Nice way to spend about 4 hours.  The DVD covers Wisely through the four seasons - each season's review taking about an hour.  You get to see behind-the-scenes activites, visit all of their different demo/teaching gardens and learn about various gardening techniques the RHS uses.  It's all presented very prim and properly in a way only the English can do!  Invite a few gardening friends over, fix yourself a cuppa tea and a crumpet and enjoy the show!
