About the Gardens
The Bridgemere Show Gardens include recreations of Gold and Silver Medal award-winning gardens from RHS Chelsea Flower Show, RHS Tatton Flower Show, RHS Hampton Court and RHS Tatton Flower Show, as well as the garden in which the 1994-1997 television series 'Gardener's Diary' was filmed.
More recently, Blue Diamond designed the Beautiful Abandonment Garden winning Silver Gilt at RHS Hampton 2022, the ‘Down Memory Lane’ dementia garden, winning Silver Gilt at RHS Hampton 2021 and the ‘Forge Garden’, winning a Silver Medal and best Artisan Garden at RHS Chelsea 2021. We have also refurbished the Japanese Garden for 2023. These new show gardens join our growing collection of award-winners at Bridgemere.
The Bridgemere Show Gardens are designed to inspire amateur gardeners, it is composed of more than 15 separate gardens, including a collection of rare and unusual plants, as well as 9 champion trees, important because of their size, age and historical significance.
SEASON BY SEASON
Bridgemere Show Gardens can be enjoyed all year round. In spring the gardens are a mass of colour blossoming with crocus, snowdrops, daffodils and tulips, and the borders are packed tightly with spectacular colour from the rhododendrons and azaleas. In summer herbaceous perennials such as iris, peonies and delphinium delight the senses and the formal beds are brimming with colour from the dahlias. In the autumn the colours of the maples are simply glorious and, in the winter, enjoy a frosty walk to admire the topiary of our Tatton Garden and the scented fragrance of the daphnes and witch hazels.

We plant over 20,000 bulbs. Don’t miss the heritage daffodils and in our woodland over 120 varieties of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias. A festival of glorious colour!
A summer visit is a must. Our gardens have the best of everything! From the grace and charm of our Gold Medal, award-winning RHS Chelsea Cottage Garden, to the stunning formal structure of the dahlia beds and a traditional rose garden. Something for everyone!
In autumn the acers put on a show stopping display with their beautiful foliage, graceful habits and autumn colours. The woodland borders are dotted with colchicums, commonly known as Autumn Crocus.
Don’t stay indoors this winter, wrap up warm and come out! On a frosty day enjoy our beautiful Gardens with drifts of snowdrops, hellebores and the intense fragrance of daphnes and viburnums.
