Harlow Carr Gardeners

As the most northerly of the RHS Gardens, Harlow Carr celebrates its Yorkshire character and charm. Along with innovative design and creative planting, the 58 acres has wonderful variety from sweeping lawns, woodland, water, colourful borders to its more relaxed flower meadows. In this blog we will keep you updated with what’s going on in the garden and what’s looking good when, as well as letting you know about the exciting programme of events throughout the year. It would be great to hear back from you too!

    We are still scheduled to open on Boxing Day although it is advised that visitors ring ahead to check the situation before travel.

  • Northern lights - a winter fairytale!

    Harlow Carr Gardeners on 08 Dec 2009 at 09:26 AM
    Bruce, our big brown leafy bear muttered under his breath “It just isn’t fair” at dusk from where he stood in the woods he could see the strings of coloured lights looping through the branches of the trees below then snaking around the lawn towards Santa’s Yurt. He sighed “I’ve been brought back to life by the kind gardener, again I’m fat and full of leaves, Santa’s sleigh is down there and I can’t go down, I might scare everyone away”. 

     

    Of course the lighting technicians who have been rolling out hundreds of bulbs across the garden don’t know about Bruce in the woods. Even most gardeners who have been very busy planting bulbs, the flowering ones not the illuminated ones, don’t even know that when no one is around, Bruce and his little squirrel friend come alive. It’s only those under ten years old who know that Santa is real, the bear is alive and the lights are a fairytale magic world where anything is possible.
