EUROPE’S LARGEST CHINESE GARDENS OPENS IN SALFORD More than eight years in the making, the new Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden is the centrepiece of the seven-acre Chinese Streamside Garden in Salford at RHS Bridgewater, with winding paths, bridges, traditional planting and carefully framed views designed to unfold as you make your way around. At the heart of it all are four interconnected pavilions dedicated to chess, music, calligraphy and painting, created by Chinese artisans and inspired by the historic scholars’ gardens of Yangzhou. It would be stunning at any time of the year, but it’s especially so as the first colours of Autumn start to emerge. If you’re looking for a wholesome weekend activity, whether you’ve checked out RHS Garden Bridgewater yet or not, this one really has to be experienced in real life. …. 📍RHS Garden Bridgewater, Occupation Road, Worsley, Manchester M28 2LJ ⏰Open daily 10am-6pm 💰Standard admission £17.20, off-peak £15.70, RHS Members go free on Tuesdays
