About Bluebell Cottage Gardens

Bluebell Cottage Gardens is a 1.5 acre country garden, tucked away on a secluded lane and approached over a scenic canal bridge. Several new areas have been planted in the last five years adding colour and interest throughout the season, including large herbaceous borders, orchard meadow, shade garden, dry garden and a new walled garden built in 2022. The adjacent nursery stocks a wide range of hardy perennials. The garden is an excellent base for local walks along the River Weaver and Trent and Mersey Canal.

The gardens and nursery are open to the public Wed-Sat 10am-5pm from early April to the end of September.

The opening dates coincide with the peak of flowering in the herbaceous borders. Visitors are welcome to picnic in the meadow area adjacent to the car park or at the benches in the nursery.
