We visited the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) garden at Wisley a couple of days ago. I thought it was going to be a washout, as we left in pouring rain, but by the time we reached there, the sun came out and the afternoon was really hot! Perfect for viewing the Bowes-Lyon rose garden, the long borders, cottage garden and the allotments. Such a lot to see and gain inspiration from.
As a rest from walking, I sat in the trials field and did a sketch looking towards the little building. I was glad to be able to include a couple of figures, but they didn’t stay sitting for long, and had gone by the time I was ready for painting. If you ever go and look at the various gardens, be sure to find your way to the cafe and try their carrot cake. De-licious!
