All the Friends Groups from the stations along the Mid Cheshire Line have come together to create a garden for the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show in Tatton Park. RHS Tatton runs from Wednesday 17 July to Sunday 21 July. The Station Friends Garden is one of the Long Borders created by community groups which will line the main drive through the Show. Its theme is ‘Your Railway Station – Gateway to a World of Journeys’.
There is lots to see at the Show as well as the Long Borders. “Tatton plays host to an array of fabulous garden categories. The fabulous Show Gardens demonstrate the best in horticultural design, while the Feature gardens explore a theme. The Terrace Gardens offer practical take-home inspiration, and the Young Designer Gardens gives upcoming talent the chance to kick start their garden design careers”.
Tickets are available from the RHS website. Wednesday is members-only, Thursday to Sunday are open to all. Admission is £31.85, reduced to £ 27.85 for members.
From Knutsford Station to the Knutsford Gate of Tatton Park is a half-mile walk along Knutsford’s King Street where many shops are participating in Floral Knutsford to connect to the Show. There is a shuttle bus service from the Knutsford Gate to the Show site.
