About
A public park in Didsbury, Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens features a rock garden with unusual plants on a steep bank, alongside woodland paths that can get muddy. The gardens connect to the volunteer-maintained Parsonage Gardens next door. Visitors find flowering plants and mature trees throughout the grounds, with space for dog walking, jogging, and cycling, though some paths aren’t suitable for scooters. A café serves coffee and light meals, and food trucks operate nearby. Wellies are handy in wetter months, while spring brings blooms to the rockery and borders. Tennis courts are also available on-site.
