Bluebell Cottage Gardens and Lodge Lane Nursery are set in gorgeous Cheshire countryside a few miles south of Warrington. Lodge Lane Nursery is an RHS partner nursery and specialises in hardy herbaceous perennials, with a typical stock of over 1500 varieties. The adjacent 1.5 acre cottage garden is open to the public from the 1st April 2010.
Together with the 2 acre wildflower meadow and 2 acre bluebell woods, the gardens offer an ideal half day out for garden lovers and non-gardeners alike. Refreshments are available in the nursery and there is plenty of seating throughout the gardens.
Horticultural events are held throughout the year in association with the RHS, including photography, painting and propagation workshops. Sue is a regular speaker at horticultural and social groups around the north west.
We welcome group bookings and provide a package of access, refreshments and guided tours to suit. For more information, select a link from the menu on the right, send an email or call 01928 713718.

Our second NGS day of the year is marching unstoppably towards me, so I've been whizzing round the garden, filling in gaps, dead-heading here and there and fretting over the proliferation of dandelions in the lawn. The field across the road froths with their seed heads each spring - I don't stand a chance. I could inch my way across the grass with one of those special dandelion uprooter things, but I think there are about 3,000 of the perishers, and I have a very low boredom threshold. So far we've managed 3 and a half years without chemicals in the nursery and garden, but the dandelions are weakening me. |
