We loved it!! It was really cool. We had a kit of fun and the plants were beautiful. For sure, If we ever visit again Harrogate, ww will go!! 😄 PD: The Japanese shop is excellent! Give it a try! 😆
A very beautiful place to see lovely colourful plants and flowers, Dragonflies including The Emperor at the right time of year and many butterflies and birds. It's not so big that you can't get round and not too tiny. The pub/cafe have lovely staff and make their food using their own produce. It's best to check what's in it as some of the recipes are strange, but it is all fresh and mainly organic. There is a Bettys tho i didn't shop there. I like going to the RHS. It's a happy place. The staff are very lovely and make up for food disappointments. The fee for one adult for a year is a bargain and includes one guest, so two for one. Parking is only just enough and could do with more disabled spaces. You can also park in Harrogate and walk through the woods here but I have not been able to do that yet. Many ppl do. There is a large and lovely shop and many cards and books for all ages.
Went to go to bettys tea room as we had never been and WOW! Those pastries were out of this world. I had a vanilla slice which was the best I’ve ever had. Partner has a scone and he loved it. That had a lovely walk round the gardens and it was just stunning. The pictures don’t do it any justice.
beautiful gardens all year around. lots to see and do and there is Bettys Cafe of course. went to the RHS Glow event where the gardens were decorated and show with lights at night. spectacular ! a fabulous place to visit.
The gardens are beautiful and I tryvto walk there at least once a week. The Glo exhibition was wonderful but I was very disappointed that they ran out of food at 7:20pm when the garden was open until 8:30pm. Would also recommend they put Food/Drink stalls at either end of the Gardens.
