RHS Garden Bridgewater

"I loved this garden and had been waiting to have the opportunity to visit. Well worth the wait. Welcome building and facilities ultra modern. Gardens are still a work in progress but lots to see. Cafe in the grounds and lots of places to have a picnic. I especially liked the paradise garden and Japanese stream garden, which will look fantastic when completed."

"Stunning. Incredible gardens, brilliant place for all to enjoy. The play area is also fantastic for kids of all ages! And the food is delicious. Such a good idea using wasp traps in the garden (may be a good idea to dot some about the outdoor cafe area at the main site)"

"A really fabulous day here. Beautiful gardens and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The walled gardens were lovely with so many different areas, veg, sunflowers, pools and community areas. The children's play area was excellent with plenty to climb, swing and explore. There was a path around Ellesmere Lake and views over the wild meadow to the canal, this then lead into the Chinese garden which was outstanding. We had a great day with 3 boys aged 7 & 12. You can see that so much hard work has gone into making the gardens beautiful again."

"We came to the dog walking evening on the 27th of June. We had wanted to visit the gardens since they opened but this gave us, and our furry friends, the ideal opportunity to explore. What a resounding success it seemed to be. We absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the next one in July. Everybody we spoke to said the same as us. The gardens themselves are beautiful and we all enjoyed exploring. It is a place that is ever changing and I would like to see it in the different seasons. I really hope the dog friendly evenings remain a regular thing."
