The Harrogate Autumn Flower Show, one
of Britain’s most prestigious gardening shows, took place last
weekend – September 14 to 16. The show offered thousands of
gardeners, landscapers and horticulturists a chance to celebrate this
year’s successes and look forward to the new growing season. The
show featured the battle of the giants where gardeners from across
Britain show off colossal vegetable and flower crops in hopes of
earning a coveted award from the judges.
