Wed Jun 19th RHS GARDEN BRIDGEWATER
Join us for a mid-summer visit to the widely-acclaimed RHS GARDEN BRIDGEWATER on the former site of Worsley New Hall in Salford. The masterplan created by Tom Stuart-Smith and brought to life by award-winning garden designers features "gardens with a garden" blending history with world-class horticulture. Highlights include: Worsley Welcome Garden, Paradise Garden, Blue Peter Discover Soil Garden, Chinese Stream Garden and Jewel Borders, Kitchen Garden, Middle Wood, Orchard Garden and Windrush Garden. We expect the flowers to be in full bloom and we have booked Guided Tours to ensure that everyone makes the most of their visit.
