But the gardens’ National Trust owners hope that the gardens will re-open to the public tomorrow.

However a spokesman urged people to check the Wakehurst website - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wakehurst - before visiting.

Meanwhile, these photos of Wakehurst’s winter wonderland were taken by Maud Verstappen of the gardens’ horticultural team.
