Bridgemere Show Gardens shortlisted for RHS Partner Garden of the Year 2025
Bridgemere Show Gardens, part of Blue Diamond Garden Centres, is in the running for the prestigious RHS Partner Garden of the Year Competition 2025. The Cheshire attraction is the only place in the world where visitors can explore so many former RHS award-winning show gardens in one location.
Set across six acres, Bridgemere features 16 gardens, including nine that have previously appeared at RHS Chelsea, Hampton Court or Tatton Flower Shows. These celebrated gardens span four decades of design, with the latest addition — The Octavia Hill Garden by Blue Diamond — winning People’s Choice, Children’s Choice and a Silver-Gilt medal at RHS Chelsea 2024.
Now in its fifth year, the competition invites garden lovers to vote for their favourite from 231 RHS Partner Gardens worldwide. This year’s theme is “joy,” with regional winners and one overall UK champion announced in December.
Voting is open until 12pm on Monday 29 September at www.rhs.org.uk/pgoty. Every voter will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 RHS Garden gift voucher.
Alan Roper, Managing Director of Blue Diamond Garden Centres, said: “With 16 unique gardens, from the Cottage Garden to the Victorian Garden and Forge Garden, Bridgemere is a place of joy for all visitors. A public vote would be a wonderful recognition of the team’s dedication.”
Dr Tim Upson, RHS Director of Gardens and Horticulture, added: “Gardens have a special power to uplift and inspire. Now is the time to help your favourite receive the recognition it deserves.”
