Britain's largest and most spectacular garden centre, Bridgemere Nursery & Garden World lies on the beautiful borders of Cheshire, Staffordshire and Shropshire. Established fifty years ago by John Ravenscroft as a one-man band rose nursery (who once lost his entire crop to cold), Bridgemere now covers 50 acres and is one of the largest garden centres in the world.

With a nursery growing nearly a million plants a year and six acres of themed, award-winning show gardens, its horticultural credentials are impeccable, as shown by an impressive collection of RHS medals and gardening accolades. 65% of the plants are grown on site in a range that is literally second to none and outstanding gardening achievements include relaunching the rare and famous old dahlia, 'Bishop of Llandaff'.

Superb shopping in a huge undercover area ranges from gardening products and gifts to clothes and toys, whilst an excellent restaurant serves delicious home-made food. Ever-changing entertainments include guided garden walks, workshops, and seasonal demonstrations and there are plenty of fun children's activities to inspire the gardeners of the future, including wildlife trails, a fantastic play area and even a mini-mountain to climb. It all makes a visit to Bridgemere an unbeatable day out for all the family.
