RHS Garden Harlow Carr is one of four public gardens run by the Royal Horticultural Society. It is located on the western edge of Harrogate in North Yorkshire.
The garden is the most recent addition to the RHS, acquired by the merger of the Northern Horticultural Society with the RHS in 2001. It had been the Northern Horticultural Society’s trial ground and display garden since they bought it in 1946.
Harlow Carr has a long history and back in the 18th century springs of sulphur water were discovered on the site but development of the site as a spa did not take place for over a hundred years. In 1840 the owner of the estate cleaned out and protected one of the wells and four years later built a hotel and bath house.
The gardens were laid out around the bath house and in 1861 the site at Harlow Carr springs was described as “a sweet secluded spot”… the grounds neatly laid out, adorned with a selection of trees, shrub, flowers, walks, easy seats and shady arbours.

The hotel later became the Harrogate Arms but closed in 2013. In 2014 the Harrogate Arms and the land surrounding it was acquired by the RHS with plans progressing to restore the building, create new gardens around it and reintroduce its links with the old bath house which now houses the garden study centre.
The Society leased 10.5 hectares of mixed woodland, pasture and arable land at Harlow Hill from the Harrogate Corporation and it opened the Harlow Carr Botanical Gardens in 1950.. this has now been extended to 27.5 hectares.
The Harlow Carr flower show has many areas for everybody’s enjoyment including;
Winter Walk Kitchen Garden Gardens through Time
Queen Mothers Lake Woodland Streamside
Arboretum Winter Garden Wildflower Meadow
Scented Garden Foliage Garden Annual & Perennial Display
Alpine House Ornamental Grasses Border Learning centre & Library
