RHS Bridgewater Arboretum

The Arboretum will be a beautiful and inspiring addition to our landscape, designed to deepen our understanding of trees. The challenges of climate change will also be addressed with expert planting that thrives in all weathers – providing environmental benefits to the wider community and supporting its precious biodiversity.

With your support, a dynamic, diverse landscape will be created, offering spaces for relaxation and exploration among the trees. Three phases of planting will ensure longevity and a beautiful treescape, allowing you to proudly watch your gift grow, as you explore this wonderful new shared garden over the months and years to come.

Planting an Arboretum is one of the best things you can do for our environment. It will grow to lock up carbon from the atmosphere, improve plant biodiversity and provide shelter and food for local wildlife, decade after decade. But this ambitious project will only take root with the support of kind people like you. Will you show your support and help make a difference?
