Horticultural excellence
The county has a rich heritage of many garden attractions, horticultural events and public landscapes to cultivate your love of plants and garden design. When you plan a gardens-themed break around North Yorkshire you are sowing the seeds of new ideas you can take home as a reminder of your visit.
Gardens go to the heart of the area with many other hidden gems to discover along the way. Discover National Trust properties lovingly cared for and preserved for the nation or find RHS splendour and expertise at the society's northernmost garden. Enjoy a gentle stroll absorbing incredible herbaceous borders and seasonal planting or go all in on your favourite plants when you delve into a national plant collection, of which you will find many across North Yorkshire's Gardens.
Gardens in everything we do
Allow yourself to be surprised by gardens with hidden secrets of sculpture, history or even a fully operational railway. Enjoy the scents and structure of working kitchen gardens before experiencing their flavours in the cafes and restaurants they supply or go behind the scenes with talks and workshops from head gardeners or the chefs they work with.
We take great pride in our many beautifully maintained public parks and gardens in the county, each with its own charms.
Whatever gardens you love, however you like to enjoy them; nurture that horticultural love and start planning your garden break with us today.
