Wisley Garden
The Weasley Garden is an amazing place in the UK that lures both lovers of natural beauty and true professional gardeners with its amazing collection of plants. In this garden, which is located in the middle of England, namely in the county of Surrey, you will be enchanted by the combined styles of classics and modernity. The Weasley Garden is one of the largest rocky gardens in all of Europe.
The garden was organized back in 1878 by a fairly successful, creative man who was well versed in gardening - George Ferguson Weasley. Initially, he set himself the goal of growing only the rarest and most whimsical plants. Weasley also established a wonderful oak grove here.
When the gardener died, the garden was transferred to the reliable hands of the Royal Palace Gardening. Since 1903, the garden has only been expanding and improving its appearance. Currently, its territory occupies about 97 hectares.
The Weasley Garden has a very attractive appearance and lures with an unusual selection of plants, which includes at least 30 thousand amazing species and various varieties. Here you can observe the classical gardens that were organized by Jeffrey Jellicoe in the 1960s.
The rockery is simply fascinating, which is a magnificent rocky garden filled with various terraces, as well as artificial streams and paths that originated here back in 1911.
The Weasley Garden houses mixborders, where amazing ornamental plants grow. Various experiments and research are constantly being conducted here, resulting in additions to the collections.
Back in 1914, a laboratory appeared in the garden, which is considered the main building today. Right next to it, there is an amazing pond filled with wonderful water lilies.
In the Weasley garden there is a rose garden, which was created in the style of the XV century. There is an opportunity to gain great knowledge of gardening directly on the territory of the garden, because gardening courses are held here. Anyone can purchase books at a local specialty store.
