RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate

Last week we went to Harrogate for a couple of days to visit the RHS garden there, Harlow Carr which I had been wanting to do for some time.

It was lovely, they are celebrating Alice in Wonderland at the moment with themed gardens and childrens play areas. For me the best parts were the long borders, they were so full and brightly coloured and the plants that I like so much, the wild flower meadows full of poppies and cornflowers and also the scented garden.

Its worth a visit if you are in the area ever.

I will leave you with some of my many pictures:
