Day 4 A visit to RHS Garden Wisley, one of the UK’s most visited and best-loved gardens. Its 240 acres houses a huge diversity of gardens, borders and one of the largest plant collections in the world. The garden highlights are: The Glasshouse, The Exotic Garden, Bowes-Lyon Rose Garden and The Mixed Borders. In June 2021 the new RHS Hilltop opened, which is the UK’s first dedicated horticultural scientific centre, protecting the future of plants and people.
