Cheshire residents are generously opening their impressive gardens to raise funds for Cheshire Wildlife Trust.
This summer, the Trust are inviting the public to explore three beautiful wildlife-friendly spaces. The gardens are designed with wildlife at the heart of their design. They can provide lots of inspiration for gardeners as well as a lovely day out with the family.
Cheshire Wildlife Trust’s Wild About Gardens team will be on hand with lots of gardening tips and advice and aim to inspire people to turn even their smallest outdoor space into a home for wildlife.
The gardens include:
- Rowley House, Kermincham, near Holmes Chapel

This beautiful garden includes rare trees, ponds, wildflower meadows and a woodland walk. It also features impressive wood sculptures by Andy Burgess and is featured in the RSPB’s spring/summer magazine Nature’s Home. Refreshments will be available. Tickets £5 for adults, entry for children is free.
