Garden attraction scoops tourism award
Greenhouse enthusiasts in the South East may be interested in paying the Royal Horticultural Societys (RHS) Garden Wisley site a visit after it scooped a major award.
The site won Large Visitor Attraction of the Year at the Tourism Awards South East 2009, with the prize-giving ceremony taking place last week (October 22nd).
Garden head James Rudoni explained that staff have been working hard to implement a number of changes over the past year.

Visitor numbers between January and September 2009 were up 22 per cent year-on-year.
Tomorrow (October 31st), the site will host pumpkin carving for Halloween, with the RHS keen to boost kids interest in horticulture.
