 Description of Garden
Designer:
The 58-acre garden with over 18,000 taxa, including rare species such as Davidia, Oxydendrum and Stewartia, is open every day of the year and caters for all tastes and ages. The woodland and arboretum with excellent displays of Rhododendrons and Camellias, are havens for naturalists, with a wealth of wildlife, birds and insects, while the spectacular swathe of Harlow Carr hybrid candelabra primulas, astilbes and hostas along the cultivated streamside will delight adults and children alike. With a contemporary grasses border, scented, herb, winter and foliage gardens, flower, fruit and vegetables and alpine houses to name but a few, the keen gardener or families just wanting a relaxing day out will find RHS Harlow Carr a place of magic and beauty.


 History of Garden
The gardens were established in 1950 by Colonel Charles Grey, as a showcase for northern gardeners, providing a garden setting to assess the suitability of plants for growing in northern climates. The gardens were run by the Northern Horticultural Society until 2001, when a merger with the Royal Horticultural Society made Harlow Carr the first RHS garden in the North.
