  • RHS Garden Bridgewater
    New RHS garden announced The RHS is unveiling plans to create a stunning new 63 hectare (156 acre) garden in the heart of the North West - by bringing back to life the lost historic grounds at Worsley New Hall in Salford. Horticultural highlights will include the restoration of the four hectare (ten acre) Walled Kitchen Garden, one of the largest in the UK. Plans also include a new schools Learning Centre to grow young people’s horticultural knowledge. The fifth garden will be named RHS Garden Bridgewater, and is planned to open in 2019 as part of the Society's wider, ten-year £100 million investment programme to achieve its Vision to enrich everyone's lives through plants, and make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. A new start in Salford - see a gallery of images from the site As a result of collaboration between the RHS, Peel Land and Property and Salford City Council, the ambitious landscape and horticultural aspirations for RHS Garden Bridgewater will create a major new destination garden which aims to welcome and inspire one million people a year within a decade. RHS Garden Bridgewater will join the Society's current portfolio of gardens at Wisley in Surrey; Hyde Hall in Essex; Rosemoor in Devon and Harlow Carr in Yorkshire. RHS Director General, Sue Biggs, said: 'We always thought it would take us a long time to find the ideal site for our Fifth Garden, but with its beautiful landscapes, good public transport links and outstanding location, Worsley New Hall was an opportunity we couldn’t miss.' Commenting on the plans, broadcaster and RHS Vice President, Alan Titchmarsh MBE, said: 'The development of the RHS’ new fifth Garden will be the biggest hands-on gardening project the charity will have undertaken in its 211-year history.
