Support RHS Garden Bridgewater

Located in Salford, Greater Manchester, RHS Bridgewater is one of the newest RHS Gardens and one of the most ambitious gardening projects for the RHS. Opened in 2021 on the site of the historic Worsley New Hall estate, it has transformed a long-neglected landscape into a thriving garden for everyone to enjoy.

Today, the 154-acre garden is a place for people to connect with nature, learn about horticulture, and experience the wellbeing that gardens can bring. As RHS Bridgewater continues to grow and evolve, it inspires communities across the North West and beyond.

With your support RHS Bridgewater can continue to grow and spread joy. Your donation could help to: 

• Enhance wildlife habitats
• Fund new horticultural projects
• Provide educational programs and experiences
• Deliver a health and wellbeing programme for communities in Greater Manchester
• Maintain and improve garden features

Plans are taking shape for new learning facilities at RHS Bridgewater, designed with a biophilic approach to bring nature into the classroom and inspire future gardeners. Alongside this, the Working Wood will create a woodland workshop and outdoor learning space focused on sharing traditional countryside skills, particularly with disadvantaged young people.

Help transform the landscape of RHS Bridgewater by donating to the visionary Arboretum project. This wonderful new landscape will offer a beautiful, tranquil space for visitors to connect with trees and nature, while improving biodiversity and nurturing the local environment for future generations.

Bring the Elemental Borders to life at RHS Bridgewater by donating to this inspiring project. This stunning new horticultural feature, inspired by the natural elements, saw its first section, Air, completed in 2025. The remaining elemental gardens, themed around Water, Earth and Fire, will be created as funding is secured through charitable donations.

Remember the life of a loved one and their passion for gardening or love of RHS Bridgewater with a gift in their memory to help the garden flourish. A gift of £100 or more will allow you to add a calligraphy inscription to the public Book of Remembrance held at the garden.

Collaborating with funders and charitable partners has created bespoke partnerships benefiting Greater Manchester communities and offering exclusive supporter opportunities. The team at RHS Bridgewater is passionate about partnering with those who support wellbeing, sustainability, and education in Greater Manchester and the North West.
