Growers from across the country are preparing the fruits of their labor for the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show later this month. Attracting more than 30,000 visitors over three days, the show brings together hundreds of exhibitors, competitors and volunteers, and celebrates the very best in fresh produce and flowers.
The Incredible Edible pavilion will be ripe with displays of perfectly grown seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables as growers compete across scores of classes to take home the honors. Returning will be the giant veg competition alongside the National Onion Championships –firm favorites with visitors to the Autumn Flower Show which takes place at Newby Hall, Ripon on 19-21 September.
New for this year is The Makers Table, showcasing the benefits of growing your own and homesteading, the art of self-sufficiency. Experts will demonstrate the use of edible flowers and how to pickle and preserve as well as infused oils and vinegars.
Harrogate Autumn Flower Show is organized by the North of England Horticultural Society (NEHS) and this year there is a particular focus on inspiring the next generation of growers. Creative workshops will give children the chance to create their own posy, plant a mini garden plot and build a bug hotel to encourage garden insects.
