Residents in Walkden and Little Hulton are invited to enjoy another year of free Tuesday entry to RHS Garden Bridgewater, as the RHS celebrates its third anniversary by extending the popular scheme until May 2025. Since the Worsley garden opened in May 2021, more than 61,000 people living in those areas and wider Salford have taken advantage of the free entry day to explore the 154-acre grounds and garden centre. In total, RHS Bridgewater has welcomed more than 1.
4 million visitors and thousands of local schoolchildren have benefitted from its green learning resources. Situated beside the Bridgewater Canal , the former Victorian estate has been transformed into a series of stunning formal gardens, surrounded by extensive woodlands and lovely lakeside walks. It represents one of the largest horticultural projects undertaken in Europe in recent years.
Richard Green, Head of RHS Garden Bridgewater said: “Over the last three years, the RHS’s fifth national garden has gone from strength to strength. Our extensive formal gardens, meadows, woodland and orchard are looking better than ever, and the introduction of the Music Pavilion in the Chinese Streamside Garden looks simply brilliant. “I am particularly delighted that nearly a quarter of Salford people have enjoyed a free visit here since we opened.
It is great that we have been welcomed with open arms by our city neighbours and we hope many more local residents will take advantage of the free Tuesday entry over the next ye.
