This luxurious book vividly captures the essence of RHS Garden Bridgewater, from its historical significance and deeply rooted connections with the community to its spectacular rebirth and promising future.
Located on the grounds of the erstwhile Worsley New Hall in Manchester, adjacent to the iconic Bridgewater Canal, the garden stands as a testament to modern gardening ambition. Crafted under the visionary guidance of famed landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith, RHS Bridgewater is a testament to gardening brilliance, boasting a variety of features from enclosed gardens and serene Chinese-inspired streams to fragrant kitchen gardens and lush forest areas, all designed to enrich the local community. This book recounts the garden's illustrious past, including royal visits, its period of neglect and decay, followed by a dramatic revitalization that has transformed it into a modern-day oasis. Through personal anecdotes from those who have meticulously shaped its landscape and detailed illustrations, RHS Garden Bridgewater is presented not only as a detailed account of the garden's historical and cultural significance but also as a beacon of inspiration for community integration and environmental beauty.
