RHS Wisley Part 1

RHS Wisley, The Royal Horticultural Society's gardens, is placed in the English county of Surrey, the South of London. It is one of four gardens run by the society, the others being Harlow Carr, Hyde Hall and Rosemoor. The gardens cover about 240 acres with many unique sections of the garden that can be visited. The photos below are one of the sections of the gardens, the Glasshouse. The structure of this magnificent building is mind-blowing and the exotic plants and flowers inside add to the spectacular design and architecture. Here are some photos of the Glasshouse.

This is what the Glasshouse looked like on the outside. This dome-like structure can be seen a few miles away. It attracts many tourists due to its striking and colourful orchids and cacti. Being a glass structure, the climate is very hot in order to maintain the plants.

Throughout the Glasshouse there were many beautiful, eye-catching orchids, either hung up on hanging down from the ceiling of the Glasshouse.

A major feature of the Glasshouse was the waterfall that runs throughout the day.

These were some of the orchids that were hanging down from the top of the ceiling of the Glasshouse.

Aside from the orchids, there were also many other types of flowers like passion flowers that were often found hidden in the vibrant green leaves.

You also have the chance of going behind the waterfall and looking down at the running water.

When walking around the Glasshouse there is a section where many exotic cacti are maintained. There were many different shapes of cacti that were interesting to observe.

There is another section of the gardens that I visited and took photos of that will be in the next blog post.
