Biddulph Grange Garden was created over 150 years ago by the Victorian plant collector James Bateman, his wife Maria and their friend Edward Cooke. Designed as a series of gardens within a garden using a cleverly planned framework of hedges, rocks, banks and planting, each has its own distinctive theme or style. These were then used to create micro-climates to house the varied collection of trees and plants collected from around the world. In 1988, the National Trust acquired the garden and began a major restoration project. The intention is to recreate the look and feel of the garden as it would have appeared during the period the Batemans lived there between 1841 and 1868.
