Upstairs at the Potting Shed
An outdoor potting area at the garden shop run by The San Mateo Arboretum Society located next to the Kohl Pumphouse in Central Park, San Mateo, California.
This RHS project is located on the site of Worsley New Hall and estate in Salford.
A grand neo-gothic mansion was erected for the 1st Earl of Ellesmere between 1845 and 1850. Magnificent gardens were also created on the site, and improved over the following 50 years.
During the Great War, the house and grounds became a British Red Cross hospital. While in the Second World War its gardens were used as a training facility for the Lancashire Fusiliers.
The hall was demolished in 1949, and the gardens fell into decline and neglect.
The RHS took over the land in 2017, and began to transform the gardens back to their former glory, restoring its heritage features such as The Bothy Chimney.
The 154 acre project is ongoing, opening to the public in 2021.
Found a home in one of the restored potting sheds at RHS Bridgewater.

This was from a visit to the National Trust property of Nuffield Place in Oxfordshire. It was the home of William Morris, of Morris Motors fame.
Mixed weather outside, at one point had heavy rain and had to shelter, when I got coffee.
Nuffield Place is a country house near the village of Nuffield in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, England, just over 4 miles (6 km) east of Wallingford.
The house was completed in 1914. Sir William Morris (later created Viscount Nuffield) had it enlarged in 1933 and lived there until his death in 1963. Lord Nuffield was buried at Holy Trinity Parish Church in the village, and bequeathed Nuffield Place and its contents to Nuffield College, Oxford, as a museum. The college later gave the house and part of the estate to the National Trust.
Lord Nuffield was fond of clocks and his bedroom contains eight. His bedroom also has a miniature workshop, in a cupboard, containing a vice and metalworking tools, as well as a jar containing Lord Nuffield's own preserved appendix.
