The Horticultural Theatre

The Theatre, at the centre of The Glasshouse, stages marvellous, continually changing, displays of plants in peak condition. This display, along with smaller ones nestled into beds throughout the glasshouse, will change regularly through the seasons. Regular visitors to Wisley will be pleased to know that the garden’s chrysanthemum festival will still appear in autumn.

Plants for these temporary displays are brought on in the propagation houses at the back of the main structure.

The displays will reflect the inspirational horticulture in The Glasshouse, and provide plenty of practical ideas for gardeners to take home.
