  43. Introduction

  49. Wellbeing

  54. Wellbeing Garden By Matt Keightley

  55. We have an exceptional opportunity to inspire the nation with the hill top development and provide a platform that will encourage visitors to consider how gardens and gardening can help improve general health and mental wellbeing. What better way to move forward than to look back and remember the reason Wisley was first acquired by the RHS, to be used as a trials and testing facility. The results could be ground breaking.

  56. Health and Wellbeing garden plan

  58. Visitor access and movement plan The layout has been planned to optimise user experience, through interesting meandering paths, seamless links to the surrounding gardens and direct routes for members of staff. As the plan illustrates, there are infinite routes available, which will undoubtedly ensure an exciting journey, each and every • VISITOR ACCESS PLAN time visitors head through the Health and Wellbeing garden.

  67. Lunch

  68. Open Forum I’d like to ask about involvement in plant trials. We took part in a couple but no longer seem to be in the loop

  69. Open Forum I’d be interested in asking a question about promotion of Partner Gardens via RHS Social Media, including whether PG ‘feeds’ are monitored by RHS and reposted to the wider RHS followers

  70. Open Forum Our garden is 25 minutes from Rosemoor and it would help if there could be a more collective approach to the marketing of Rosemoor . “Come to Rosemoor and spend time while in North Devon visiting Castle Hill, Marwood , Hartland Abbey, Tapeley etc ”. We are happy to allow RHS members here for free and it would seem only fair that you help us increase our footfall in return
