Our first day trip was on Sunday, 21st May, to RHS Bridgewater near Salford. With smooth coach rides with Alba Travel, we were able to enjoy a sunny day. For some it was a first visit and for others a chance to check out the latest developments!

"Bridgewater Gardens (opened in 2021) has been created in 154 acres (62 ha) of the former Worsley New Hall estate, with the Bridgewater Canal forming the southern boundary. It is one of Europe's largest gardening projects.

Landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith has created the overall plan, in which the walled kitchen garden has been restored with historic features such as the tree-lined Garden Approach recreated, and the lost terraces reworked. Marcus Chilton-Jones is the first curator of the garden. The Welcome Building (2022) was crowned by the Royal Insitute of British Architects as the North West Building of the Year: being praised for its sustainable and engaging design."

A trip to the Spring Show in Harrogate in late April was a treat for some of us as well.
