Ferns at Wisley

Today I took advantage of the last day of half term to visit RHS Wisley with T.

Lots of ferns to see, with the stands of Osmunda regalis being a particular highlight.

Osmunda regalis

























Onoclea sensibilis is planted in many areas and clearly thrives in those locations.


And both Matteuccia struthiopteris  and Apslenium scolopendium are profuse.


Also nice to see ferns establishing in nooks and crannies, not just where they've been planted!


Sadly no time to see the tree ferns in the glass house today. By the time we'd gone round the children's trail (happily, for once, I'd remembered a clipboard for T), stopped in the cafe (well, we were just going past ...) and been to see the vegetable garden in pursuit of completing Eye-Spy Wisley it was time to come away. 

Looking forward to seeing the new visitor centre open and all the car park works being finished, too!
