There are many reasons to join #CheshireGardensTrust and one of them is our quarterly newsletter. The July edition is packed full of features from The Magical Garden at Biddulph Old Hall to Cheshire events throughout the summer. Photo @ Alison Moore from the AGM at Whitby Park

We were grateful to meet with Heritage Minister Baroness Twycross last week to explain our work helping protect the UK's important heritage of parks and gardens. We continue to work with the Government on proposals to remove our statutory consultee role. Department for Culture, Media and Sport Historic England

Walkden Gardens is a hidden gem in the heart of Sale. It takes its name from Harry Walkden who ran a plant nursery on the site, and after he died in 1949, his wish was for the land to be laid out as a park or garden. #cheshiregardenstrust #Saletown #gardenheritage

Last week, members of #Cheshiregardenstrust enjoyed a visit to Clemley House, near Tarporley, owned by Sue and Tom Makin. The two-acre plot is a perfect example of an organic, wildlife friendly garden, with mixed borders, wildlife ponds and so much more. Photos © 🌱Alison Moore 🐝

Laskey Farm in Lymm, WA4 2TF is open again for NGS today. As we near the end of August, garden openings are to be savoured, and this one is well worth a visit. There is much to see in the garden, as well as an art exhibition and delicious homemade cakes #cheshiregardenstrust

Early autumn at Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. Great to spend time with Head Gardener Kate Hurst and talk about the challenges of summer and plans for autumn and winter. The garden was looking amazing #CheshireGardensTrust
