Bridgewater. they spent £35 million. this was once a grand old estate, a stately home, the home is long gone, with formal guidance. it has been recreated, re—established, recycled if you like. some of the sightlines are beautiful. that is the gardiner �*s cottage, believe it or not. they have done a sterling job and today it opens to the public. this is what a quarter of a million new plants look like — thats what its taken to create the royal horticultural societys brand—new garden, rh...
