	Wisley Garden of the Royal Horticultural Society
		In 1903 on the death of Mr Wilson, Sir Thomas Hanbury bought the estate and presented it in trust to the R.H.S. With his eminent botanist brother Daniel, he was the founder in 1867 of the celebrated hillside garden of La Mortola, on the Italian Riviera (with which the R.H.S. remains closely concerned).
		Wisley is a very beautiful garden with romantic half-timbered Tudor-style buildings.
		Wisley's purpose is to 'use and occupy the Estate for the purpose of an Experimental Garden and the Encouragement and Improvement of Scientific and Practical Horticulture in all its Branches'.

	50Plus.com - Wisley Garden: cures jet lag
		Wisley is the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) garden located by happy chance just half an hour's drive from London's Heathrow Airport and 45 minutes from Gatwick.
		And to visit Wisley is to be plunged immediately into that special ambience that probably drew you to England - verdant lawns, tiny robins singing fit to bust, and a bounty of flowers.
		Winter: If there's a hoar frost, you'll see Wisley's astonishing collection of conifers in every size and texture at their stark best; in the wild garden there are always snowdrops and camellias, and look out for the strange green hellebores flowers.
