Dusty had never quite managed to get past the tea room on previous visits to Harlow Carr. She tells me it is because her Australian friend would never go beyond the gate. However on Saturday Dusty eventually got t’other side of turnstile. Even I have to admit (not being a gardener) that Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate are very nice indeed. If you are looking to spend a day strolling around some beautiful planting then Harlow Carr Gardens are a must. Just outside of Harrogate they are easy to find from the A1/A59 and if you are a member of the RHS, then you also get in free. On site you will also find Betty’s tea shop selling great quality good. If you’re like us, you will buy a few treats with a take away coffee and have an impromptu picnic in the gardens.
