RHS Garden Bridgewater

About

Reviving the gardens of the historic 156 acre Worsley New Hall estate to create RHS Garden Bridgewater represents one of the largest gardening projects in Europe at this time.

Full planning permission was granted in June 2017, opening the doors to an exciting programme of development with the first phase of the garden opening to the public approximately three years later.

Highlights of the garden:

RHS Garden Bridgewater offers 154 acres of glorious gardens set in Salford’s historic landscape. This inspiring oasis continues to evolve with help from award-winning designers and the local community. After a lush greeting from the Worsley Welcome Garden, step inside the walls of the Paradise Garden and admire the awe-inspiring blend of Mediterranean and Asiatic planting. Then treat your senses to the abundant Kitchen Garden, or follow the winding paths of the Chinese Streamside Garden. And for the young at heart, no visit could be complete without exploring the natural play areas, set within the shaded woodland.
