RHS Harlow Carr
Located in North Yorkshire, this is a showcase of horticultural excellence all year round. Harlow Carr is a 58-acre garden run by the Royal Horticultural Society, based around a 19th-century spa. The site has the longest streamside garden in England; a colourful, sinuous garden that winds its way through the property.
The streamside garden blends with the neighbouring woodland and uses trees to provide shelter and help moderate the climate. Large areas of giant gunnera take advantage of the wet conditions, sharing space with hostas and ferns. Along the stream are pockets of primulas and irises.
