visitors guide > cheshire year of the gardens >
Cheshire has more gardens and garden centres open to the public per head of population than anywhere else in the country. This remarkable horticultural heritage is being celebrated during Cheshire Year of Gardens 2008.
The event will highlight the range and diversity of the County's Gardens of Distinction, from the manicured grounds of great houses, such as Arley Hall and Lyme Park, to secret and secluded jewels like Hare Hill, Dunge Valley and Mount Pleasant Gardens.
The Year, which complements the Capital of Culture festivities in Liverpool, aims to provide interest for everyone, even those who would not normally visit gardens.
A wide range of events and activities including garden tours, special garden openings, theatre and musical performances and food and drink festivals have been organised/
