🌿✨ What a fabulous day out we had at RHS Garden Bridgewater! It’s changed so much since our last visit a few years ago, and we all had a brilliant time exploring and learning about different plants.

The colours were stunning – especially the beautiful blues and mauves 💜💙.

Highlights of the day included the Chinese Garden, Kitchen Garden, Paradise Garden, water features… and of course, cake! 🍰

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the trip such a success – we can’t wait for the next one! 💚
