Commissioned by The Royal Horticulture Society as part
of their ongoing masterplan to regenerate Wisley’s historic gardens, the
project creates a brand-new public space surrounding the UK’s biggest plant
centre. Expected to accommodate over 1.2 million visitors a year, the proposed
landscape provides an inviting, robust and legible arrival space celebrating
the rich horticultural traditions of the RHS’s flagship garden. From the three
hundred meters long biodiverse swale to the cherry grove of 150 trees, visitors
are welcomed by a spectacle of flowering vegetation across all seasons.
Developed as part of
the Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape Architects team.
