PASTURES NEW

After months of being confined to our homes and neighbourhoods, the opening of the new RHS Bridgewater garden in Worsley, Salford, is welcome indeed. Designed to a masterplan by Tom Stuart-Smith, who also completed the ‘Paradise Garden’ in the historic walled garden at the project’s centre, the 154 acres also includes a kitchen garden by Harris Bugg Studios and a Chinese-inspired streamside garden. Opens 11 May (rhs.org.uk).
