	Royal Horticultural Society - RHS Garden Wisley
		Wisley is Britain’s best loved garden with 97ha (240 acres) offering a fascinating blend of the beautiful with practical and innovative design and cultivation techniques.
		For many, it is the beauty and tranquility of the garden that captures the imagination, with its richly planted borders, luscious rose gardens and the exotica of the glasshouses, but a closer look reveals the real value of Wisley.
		Elsewhere in the garden, cultivation techniques, such as composting or pleaching, are tried and tested, and a series of model gardens answers the needs of a variety of conditions and circumstances.

		Gardeners are again realising that the colour range and long-flowering ability of chrysanthemums can fill a void in the autumn garden.
		Former Superintendent of the Glasshouses at RHS Garden Wisley and chrysanthemum enthusiast Ray Waite describes chrysanthemums as the 'queens of autumn'.

	Garden history
		William Temple's essay 'Upon the Gardens of Epicurus: or Of Gardening' (1685) is extravagantly praised by Nicholas Pevsner.
		Blomfield’s historical sketch of the art of gardening in England is full of interest and instruction, and his polemic against the so-called landscape gardeners is vigorous, incisive, and to our mind convincing.' The book is undoubtedly polemical, but commendably scholarly.
		Historical and design information is provided because visits to gardens and parks are more interesting when touring with an informed eye for historical and design detail, just as tours to botanic gardens are more enjoyable when the visitor has a knowledge of plants and planting design.
