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.
Phase one of the creation of the garden will begin this year and will include site acquisition, planning approvals and site clearance.
The RHS will begin making strong links with the local community, involving volunteers and people within the region to help establish an RHS presence, as well as improving the walled garden.
