Stroll through an inspiring collection of specialist plant nurseries and high-quality garden accessory traders, and take advantage of expert advice from members of the Professional Gardeners' Guild, who will be on hand to answer your questions. Throughout the day, enjoy a varied programme of talks and demonstrations, brimming with fresh ideas, practical tips and inspiration for gardeners of every level.

Following our visit, we travel to Manchester and check in for one night at the DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly. The remainder of the day is yours to explore the city at leisure, with time to discover its vibrant nightlife and enjoy dinner in one of the many excellent restaurants and bars.

This morning we check out of our hotel and travel to Salford for a visit to the remarkable RHS Garden Bridgewater, named after the historic Bridgewater Canal that runs alongside the site.
