Its name is derived from the fact that it originated at Wisley Garden, the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. Be sure to walk by the patio of our Visitor Center to enjoy these. Join us for our Bank to […]

Frank Quinnette, estate horticulturist and Winterthur’s unofficial champion of the snow (yes, the giant S on his chest stands for Snowman and yes, he’s gonna kill me for that intro) sheds a little light on snow removal at Winterthur: We’re out there.
