The Alfred Wise collection transports the delicate botanicals captured by the renowned RHS artist-in-residence Alfred Wise, into a beautiful collection fit for the ultimate garden party. About Alfred Wise (1908 –1985) spent most of his working life as a botanical artist-in-residence, engaged at RHS Wisley, Surrey. A prolific painter, he created over 1,000 watercolour paintings of selected plants, often of those winning prestigious medals and awards of merit at RHS flower shows. Wise was a true eccentric and loner - living in a ramshackle caravan in the grounds at RHS Wisley, surrounded by his brushes, paints and his beloved artwork - an individualist’s artists paradise in an idyllic location.
