"my garden is my most beautiful masterpiece" Claude Monet

Poole in Bloom had a fantastic day out at RHS Wisley, as it is now affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society.

52 members journeyed up by coach on the 17th June 2026 for a sunny day out exploring the inspiration that is RHS Wisley. It coincided with the National Sweet Pea Society Show. 

Keep an eye out for next future trips!

Entries are now closed and judging is taking place. 

Good luck!

Annual entries close on the last Friday in June. Judging takes place through July with the Presentation Evening in October (date to be confirmed).
