I’ve been a member of RHS Wisley Garden for over four years now, and no matter when I visit, I’m always struck by how much there is to see in bloom. Even in winter, when most plants are resting, you can still find pockets of colour inside the greenhouses.

Every visit seems to end the same way: I take far more photos than I planned. And every time I get home, I tell myself I should upload a few to my website, not just because the flowers are so beautiful, but also to keep track of how blooming times change from year to year.

This winter and early spring have been a little unusual, with lots of rain and not much sunshine. Even so, the cherry blossom appeared in early March, and by the start of April it had already faded from most trees. In its place, the tulips became the main attraction. This year, Wisley has planted more than 100,000 tulips, and they’re all coming into bloom now, creating a brilliant display of colour across the garden.

I’ve put together a small album of photos from my latest visit. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

My plan is to go back to my photos and to start adding photos from other visits. Stay tunned!
