RHS Garden Bridgewater keeps on growing

RHS Garden Bridgewater is growing even more spectacular ahead of its opening on Tuesday 11 May, 2021.

Over 100,000 plants are already in the ground and another 40,000 will be added this autumn and winter. A new, lakeside path is now complete and the garden is gearing up to bring joy and inspiration to visitors next year.

Five thousand plants alone have gone into the community wellbeing garden which will be used for therapeutic activities, learning new skills and experiencing the healing effects of nature as well as inspiring people to garden.

The garden’s opening was postponed this year because of the pandemic, but the 154 acre site enabled a core team to carry on working safely. The delay has given the new plants time to mature.

RHS Garden Bridgewater has been made possible by Salford City Council and Peel L&P. Salford City Council invested £19 million into the project which preserves a key part of Salford’s heritage and will bring a wide range of economic, health, educational and social benefits to the city and communities, including boosting tourism.

Don't forget. Salford residents will be able to visit the garden free every Tuesday. To keep up to date with developments, follow the garden at @RHSBridgewater
