Preview: Harrogate Autumn Flower Show - 15-17 September

One of the last great flower shows of the year is the Harrogate Autumn Flower show.

Held at the Great Yorkshire Showground from Friday 15 September until Sunday 17 September the show always offers spectacular displays, lots of live entertainment and is a fantastic day out.

New for this year is the Postcards from the Hedge which is an exhibition that traces the ancestry of our most popular plants. You will discover how fuchsias were found in South America and camellias came all the way from China.

There will be more than 5,000 autumn blooms as you explore Britain's biggest exhibition by specialist gardening groups.

Look out too for the stalls selling everything you need for your garden from gloves to greenhouses. You can also shop and drop off your purchases at the plant and product creche.

Advance tickets are available at a discounted rate of £15.50 and £14.00 on the last day up until 5 September.

Under 16s go free when accompanied by an adult.

Tickets can be booked on: 01423 546157
