RHS GARDEN – BRIDGEWATER

A visit has been arranged for Wednesday 9th March 2022 to RHS Bridgewater. The former site of Worsely New Hall in Salford, is a heritage landscape that’s been transformed into a RHS garden.  Opened in 2021, RHS Garden Bridgewater is the 5th RHS garden and one of the largest and most gardening project in Europe.  Landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith created the masterplan and fantastic Bridgewater team, alongside award winning garden designers, have brought the garden to life.  Bridgewater also has a cafe overlooking Victoria Meadow and offers seasonal food hot & cold, tea/coffee etc.     We will also visit Bents garden centre, Warrington for a browse and hopefully get some “spring inspiration ” its a fantastic garden centre, and maybe time for a morning tea/coffee.  This should be a wonderful day out. Our first garden visit for this year 2022 !!    Cost of trip. £20 – payable by cheque please.

Depart Maghull Square -9.15am.  Return Maghull Square – 5.00pm approx
