RHS Garden Bridgewater is the fifth RHS garden and one of the largest gardening projects undertaken in Europe in recent years. It is hoped that the transformation of this 154-acre green space will enrich the lives of local communities and their environment for the future.
Heswall Honeys enjoyed guided tours of the garden as well as a coffee stop in the new cafeteria.

Our Spring Social
|
Spring was in the air and it was great to celebrate its arrival with a big get-together.
We were entertained by 'Belles and Beaus' who have a repertoir alternating between vintage favourites and retro-infused pop classics-great music to dance too! |

Did you rock to Queen, swoon over Patrick Swayse or work hard at achieving your 100 metre swimming badge? Walking down memory lane, a group of Heswall Honeys visited the Atkinson Gallery in Southport to savour the delights of what it was like to grow up in the 1980s.

A group of the Heswall Honeys rocked the night away at the Liverpool Empire where they saw the musical ‘Jersey Boys.’ Some of the girls visited Ma Egerton’s for a bite to eat- as you can see pizza was the order of the day!
