RHS Harlow Carr to host Summer Garden Weekend

Thursday, 21 May 2026 14:35

Summer Garden Weekend is coming to RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate.

Gardeners and plant lovers are being invited to RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate for its Summer Garden Weekend next month.

The three-day event will run from 19–21 June, featuring gardening talks, floral demonstrations, specialist plant nurseries, live music and food stalls.

Visitors will also be able to see the garden’s seasonal displays, including the colourful Primula Harlow Car hybrids along the Streamside and herbaceous borders in full bloom.

Gardening expert Martin Fish and florist Jonathan Moseley will lead talks and demonstrations across the weekend, sharing practical gardening advice and seasonal inspiration.

A range of specialist exhibitors will attend, including nurseries selling perennials, shrubs, succulents and ornamental grasses, alongside artisan garden and food producers.

Sarah Mullan, Public Programming Manager at RHS Harlow Carr, said:

“The Summer Garden Weekend is one of the highlights of our events calendar, bringing together everything visitors love about summer gardening in one beautiful setting. It’s a fantastic opportunity to discover fresh ideas, hear from experts and shop from an exciting range of specialist nurseries and exhibitors right here in Yorkshire. With the garden looking spectacular, plus live music, delicious food and plenty to explore, it promises to be a wonderful summer day out for gardeners and non-gardeners alike.”

Food and drink will also be available across the site, including at the Bettys Café Tea Rooms and the Harrogate Arms.

The event runs daily from 9.30am to 4pm. No booking is required, although normal garden admission charges apply for non-members.
