Day Visit: Wednesday, July 8, 2026
Once the site of the Egerton mansion, Worsley New Hall, the RHS began developing this derelict land in 2017. W. A. Nesfield had been the garden designer for the Egertons, and the remnants of his work are still encompassed in the modern design. The landscape artist, Tom Stuart Smith was chosen by the RHS to mastermind the scheme. It was opened in 2021.
We visited shortly after its opening when it was a work in progress. We had a glorious sunny, hot day to see how it is developing and explore some of the new areas and exhibitions.
This included the community grow garden area, the Yangzhou Scholar’s Garden, near the Japanese garden, due for completion at the end of this year and a thought provoking photo exhibition near the tea rooms.
