RHS Garden Harlow Carr, Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Nestled on the edge of Harrogate, RHS Harlow Carr is a haven of still and flowing waters, rock formations, vibrant prairie-style planting, and serene woodland.
Discover the lush Sub-Tropicana Garden, and let it transport you to the tropics. Reconnect with nature in the Arboretum and visit the Alpine House. Wander through the woodland or along the longest planted Streamside Garden in the country. Relax by the Sun Border and enjoy panoramic views of the main borders or stroll across the Queen Mother’s Lake on the ‘Thaliana Bridge’. Enjoy a seasonal menu at the Harrogate Arms Café, with fresh ingredients taken straight from the Kitchen Garden, just meters away. The family-friendly events programme makes this a colourful day out all year round.
