RHS gardens 2024: Main Borders
One of the earliest features created at Harlow Carr, the Main Borders run across the axis of the garden. They offer a glorious vista of planting through the seasons, while drawing visitors on to the Woodland and Doric columns that once graced the portico of Harrogate’s spa rooms.
Mature specimen trees, including Maytenus, Parrotia, Liquidambar (American sweetgum) and Tilia (lime trees), bring height and structure to the borders, while the generous prairie-style planting combines herbaceous perennials, bulbs and grasses in spectacular bold drifts.
