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.
