TO celebrate the 75th anniversary of Enid Blyton’s first book from The Famous Five series, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Garden Wisley has developed the ‘The Famous Five on a Garden Adventure’ trail for young explorers this summer, running from July 22 to September 3.

The RHS is inviting children to share Enid Blyton’s passion for the great outdoors by following its self-guided trail around Wisley’s garden.

Children taking part will be tasked with helping The Famous Five to find Uncle Quentin, who has gone missing on a horticultural research mission, with clues to discover and puzzles to solve along the way. To take part, simply pick up a free paper trail at the garden entrance.

August 11 marks another special anniversary for Enid Blyton, as it would be the author’s 120th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, RHS Garden Wisley is hosting a mass picnic party in the beautiful surroundings of the garden. No need to book, just come along with a picnic on the day to join the fun.

Additional fun activities will be running each day at the garden during the summer holidays, such as hands-on ‘sow & grow’ gardening workshops, craft sessions to ‘design your own treasure’, puppet and creepy crawly shows, storytelling, and birds of prey displays.

Normal garden entry applies; events and activities are suitable for all the family. To see the programme of events, opening times, and booking info visit www.rhs.org.uk.
