An other week another garden
Caroline mentioned: Harlow Carr whch she thinks is lovely there, though she prefers the RHS gardens at Wisley and Rosemoor.
I have to admit I hasve similar feelings but as it is my'local' RHS garden I thought I would use it to show you A4A members who perhaps have not visited it a few of the sights.
As mentioned this garden is undergoing some major alterations so even now some of my pictures will be out of date.
One of the most recent changes is the 'Learning Centre' and its gardens as seen here:

Tee Gee, Caroline was quoting my post of 16th December in the Edinburgh Botanical gardens thread when she said "We visited Harlow Carr a few years ago when we were members of the RHS. It is lovely there, though I prefer the RHS gardens at Wisley and Rosemoor."
Thanks for posting the Harlow Carr jigsaws. I don't recognise any of the pictures so far but it is ages since we visited.

I was at Harlow Carr in 2007 after visiting RHS Tatton show. http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/0707%20Harlow%20Carr?sort=2&page=1 Matthew Wilson had recently moved up there from Hyde Hall and had done some wonderful mixed perennial beds. It was amazing but they've changed curator and style and lots of content plus they've sorted out the stream garden and all those candelabra primulas and built the new visitors' centre and so on so it probably needs another visit.

As some of you may be aware the RHS organised the construction of a number of gardens that showed gardens through time.
The time scale was from 'The RegencyPeriod' circa 1815 to the turn of the century (2004)
There were seven gardens although one has been demolished to make way for the alterations to the 'Queen Mother's Lake' whether it will be resurrected after these alterations I do not know.
At least I was lucky to see it at photograph it prior to its removal.
This is a view over garden No.1 - The Regency Period - circa 1815

If only I could keep my little patch like that all the time :BangHead:

I hope this works I have spent all morning trying to get into any of the boards on A4A I got onto the site easily enough but not into the specific forums.
In the end I ditched my Firefox browser and used Chrome and I won't mention what I think of Windows 10!!!!!!!!!!
Here goes.............
These are shots from the remainder of the gardens through time, sadly one picture of each does not do the gardens justice so if you want better views of them then link to here:

This is at it was the last time I visited a couple of years ago.
Having seen the plans I would guess the renovations and plantings have changed its appearance even more.
Must try and visit it this year some time to see the outcome.

As you are all probably still in the festive mood I thought two jigsaws would be enough for today.
