Bridgemere Show Gardens to be formally relaunched on 20th May at 1pm

Bridgemere Show Gardens, now owned by the Blue Diamond Group, are once again restored to their former glory following an extensive restoration and rejuvenation and are to be re-launched on the 20^th May 2022 at 1pm.

These Gardens include 3 RHS Chelsea Medal winning show gardens.

Formally known as ‘The Garden Kingdom’, and founded by John Ravenscroft in the 1980s to inspire amateur gardeners, these Show Gardens were once a popular visitor destination, attracting people from all over the UK and overseas. It is one of the only places in the UK where you can see a collection of RHS award-winning gardens from past, to the present day.

The Blue Diamond Group have resurrected the Gardens to their former glory.

Sadly, the Gardens fell into disrepair when John retired in 2006 and it was only when the Blue Diamond Group bought Bridgemere Garden Centre, the Gardens and the adjoining nursery in October 2019, that work has been undertaken in the Gardens to resurrect and restore them to their former glory.

What makes these Show Gardens unique is that the contain several recreations of past RHS medal winning gardens which originally were displayed at either RHS Chelsea, RHS Hampton Court or RHS Tatton Flower shows, dating back to the 1980's and new gardens from 2021. Three of the show gardens are RHS Chelsea Gold medal winning ones.
