RHS Garden Wisley contains an excellent selection of hardy ferns. This is largely based on a generous gift from the well-known author, Graham Stuart Thomas, in 1975, and is continually being supplemented.
Greenhouse ferns may also be seen at Wisley, mostly in the temperate and subtropical sections of the Glasshouse.
RHS Trials and Awards
Although no trial of either hardy or tender ferns has been held at Wisley to date, the garden qualities of a number of both hardy and greenhouse ferns have been recognised by the Award of Garden Merit.
