Found between the River Mersey and the Stenner Woods, the Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden is just about as green as this part of the world gets. It is named after a local hero by the name of, well, Fletcher Moss, an alderman who donated the park to the city way back in 1915. A wide variety of flora can be found within, along with an excellent cafe and some quite magnificent buildings. Worth travelling to Didsbury for, that’s for sure.
