Description

Wisley is a very beautiful garden with romantic half-timbered Tudor-style buildings. In 1878 Gearge Ferguson Wilson, businessman, scientist, inventor and keen gardener, purchased the site and established 'The Oakwood Experimental Garden' with the idea of growing difficult plants successfully. Soon the garden was renowned for it's collection of Lillies, gentians,japanese irises, primulas and waterplants.Despite changes since then, it is still true to his original consept. In 1903 on the death of Mr Wilson, Sir Thomas Hanbury bought the estate and presented it in trust to the R.H.S.

Well, like the Beverly Hillbillies...if this was my place, I'd stock that cement pond with bass and spend my days fishing. :-)

I love big estates like this. Seems like the owner got a 25 year stay...hopefully he enjoyed it half as much as all those who have seen it since his death. Excellent wideangle shot...
