Flower Show

Big Picnic 2011
A bee or not a bee? That is the question...

Our stand at the 2011 Harrogate Spring Flower Show (left) enabled us to explain the differences between bumble bees, honey bees, hoverflies and wasps to the general public. We also had a display of pollinator-friendly plants - many thanks to Fiona at Brookside Nurseries.

This display was also take to the Friends of Valley Garden 40s Day and to the Big Picnic (right).

Harrrogate Crocus mix

Money raised from the sale of Harrogate Crocus mix in 2010 went towards the spectacular new Nectar Bar bed in Valley Gardens (right) more>>

The crocus sales also helped fund the Picture Frame bed on Montpellier Hill which proved very popular with visitors...and the Britain in Bloom judges! (left)
