After our English breakfast, we explore the Royal Horticultural Society, whose gardens opened as a place of gardening excellence in 1904. The RHS garden in Wisley, Surrey demonstrates British gardening at its finest, offering a blend of landscape gardens and horticultural tips for the avid gardener. The RHS is an excellent place for a lunch of your choice with three different restaurants to choose from and with time to relax. After our tour, the garden shop should not be missed.
Onward to Wych Cross Garden Centre, Forest Row, East Sussex. One of those surprisingly rare Garden Centre that specializes in plants! View a variety of Shrubs, hedging, fruit, and seasonal bedding plants, roses their specialty. If you grow roses this is the place to get the answer to all those nagging questions. The staff boasts qualifications from The Royal Horticultural Society, Tresco Abby Gardens, the renowned horticultural colleges of Persho and Merrist Wood.
We return to our hotel with time to select your place for dining in Royal Tunbridge Wells and for an after dinner stroll in The Pantiles.
Quote for the day: There is no such thing as an ugly garden- gardens, are like babies, all- are beautiful to their parents. Ken Druse, The Collector’s Garden. 1996
