Embark on a family day out in Harrogate at RHS Garden Harlow Carr

The great thing about gardens is, you never step in the same garden twice. 

The natural world around us is constantly changing, particularly in climates like we have in the UK where our seasons play a huge role.

Step into a garden in spring and you'll see new life all around you, bursting with fresh new bulbs and flowers. Come summer, it's time to enjoy the garden environment, ablaze with colour and abuzz with wildlife! Then suddenly it's autumn, and we see the leaves begin to turn their ruddy reds and oranges in one final dazzling display before winter creeps in with Jack Frost in tow, turning the garden into an icy wonderland. 

And this seasonal story is told so well at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Yorkshire.
