It is located in the village of Worsley in Salford, Greater Manchester, England.

Bridgewater Gardens has been created in 154 acres (62 ha) of the former Worsley New Hall estate, with the Bridgewater Canal forming the southern boundary.

[1] Landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith has created the overall plan,[2] in which the walled kitchen garden will be restored, historic features such as the tree-lined Garden Approach recreated, and the lost terraces reworked.

[4] The expected total cost of the project was £32.7m, of which the RHS invested £15.7m of its own funds and received (by December 2019) a further £12.7m through grants and fundraising,[5] including a £5m grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation[6] and further donations from Salford City Council.

[7] The BBC filmed a four-part series about the construction process at the garden titled The Great Northern Garden Build, which began broadcasting on BBC Two from 10 May 2021, just before the 18 May 2021 opening date.
