Cheshire Gardens Trust - Sharing Cheshire's Designed Landscapes
Welcome to Cheshire Gardens Trust and our newly redesigned website which we hope you enjoy visiting. We plan to make further amendments and continue adding to it with additional information so would welcome your views and comments. Please contact us: info@cheshire-gardens-trust.org.uk
We are an organisation of volunteers who care about Cheshire’s rich heritage of parks, gardens and designed landscapes. Our membership encompasses those who simply enjoy visiting gardens to professional designers, horticulturalists and historians. Visits and talks run throughout the year where we visit parks and gardens, meet gardeners, owners and designers for that ‘inside’ view and understanding. Join us for an event as a visitor or as a new member and find out about your county’s gardens.

Zoo was founded by the Mottershead family and opened on 10th June
1931. What began as a family zoo has grown into a
globally renowned centre for conservation and scientific research.
The zoo is a key part of 139 international breeding programmes,

flora
and fauna. The

award-winning botanical gardens. These

around the world, including
2000 carnivorous plants, over 1500 individual species of cacti and
many
which
are critically endangered. They also hold 5
national collections. Details and booking information for our next Events coming shortly. | NEWSLETTERS April 2026 Issue no 90
