Some visits are about discovering something new.

Others are simply about slowing down.

Did You Know The Friends Help Fund Projects Around The Garden?

Many visitors don’t realise that Friends membership and activities help support projects within Harlow Carr.

Over the years Friends funding has contributed towards projects including:

• Wildlife cameras
• Mobility scooters
• The Friendship Bridge
• The bird hide
• Alpine cold frames
• Historic horticultural books

Every membership helps make these things possible.

🌿 The countdown is on! 🌿

This month marks 25 years since RHS Harlow Carr became part of the RHS family following the merger with the Northern Horticultural Society — and we’ll be officially celebrating this special milestone on 1st July 2026. 🎉

As part of the celebrations, we’ll also be taking a look back at the rich history of RHS Harlow Carr. Visitors can enjoy free guided tours of the garden led by the Friends of Harlow Carr every Wednesday throughout this month — a wonderful opportunity to discover the stories, people, and plants that have shaped the garden over the years.

Join us as we celebrate 25 years of growth, community, and gardening inspiration — while honouring the rich heritage that continues to shape the garden today.

They're a wonderful way to discover seasonal highlights, hidden stories and fascinating plants you might otherwise walk straight past.

Whether you're a regular visitor or it's your first time, everyone is welcome.

Have you joined one before? Let us know your favourite thing you've learned.

We’ve been watching Chelsea Flower Show. Anyone got a huge carving of Mother Earth that they’re not using?
