Garden Attractions

Horticultural excellence

The county has a rich heritage of 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 can take home inspiration for your own green spaces.

Gardens are at the heart of North Yorkshire with many 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 most northern 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 there are several.

Secret gardens

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 to or go behind the scenes with talks and workshops from head gardeners or the chefs they work with.

Whatever gardens you love, however you like to enjoy them; grow that horticultural love and start planning your garden break with us today.
