A visit to RHS Wisley
A few weeks ago, as outdoor attractions started to re-open, we booked tickets to go to RHS Wisley. Of course, the weather had other ideas, but in fact it wasn't too bad. There was a short queue, but it was self-managing with 2m points clearly marked on the ground, and the entry through the small indoor area was quite swift.
It's many years since we visited - I reckon it could easily be 15 or 20 - and I think a lot has changed. Last time we visited was in autumn; this time we got to see mid-summer. Although the glasshouses were closed, we had a good wander through most of the outdoor areas, and I picked up a couple of tips in the trials area. In these times I can't say it was a stress-free visit, but common sense generally prevailed and I didn't feel uneasy at any stage, though we avoided the shop (not least because it had its own queue).
