Harrogate Spring Show

Harrogate launches gardening season

In glorious sunshine the 2010 Harrogate Spring Flower Show opened its doors to 58,000 visitors, who came from all over the country to enjoy the start of the gardening season. They were able to delight in a fine show of spring blooms, garden design and the latest in horticulture and outdoor living and, as we have come to expect at Harrogate, an exceptionally high standard of displays.

The 'Best in Show' award was presented to Edrom Nursery from Berwickshire (pictured left) for their beautiful display of alpine and woodland plants.
