Kick off the gardening season with a visit to the Harrogate
Spring Flower Show
The Harrogate Spring Flower Show is one of the most
prestigious shows in the gardening calendar. This year the show is bringing
in the season by encouraging everyone to get outside in a variety of ways.
The desire to have fresh produce has encouraged many people to try
growing their own and there is no doubt there is something special about the
taste. This year Kitchen Garden Live will be at the show, aimed at gardeners
who already grow their own produce and complete beginners who want some tips
on getting started. Live demonstrations will be taking place throughout the
show on growing your own vegetables, fruits and herbs.
 Back
by popular demand is the Photography Competition, with the change to win a
weekend in Northern Ireland and tickets to Garden Show Ireland. Take photos
of your 'Visions of Spring' and bring them along to the show for a chance to
win. The children can get involved too by taking photos of Nature's
Beasties, they have the chance to win a family ticket to Lightwater Valley
Theme Park. For full details please visit the website, www.flowershow.org.uk.

The new gardening season gets off to a flying start
with HRH The Prince of Wales agreeing to become Patron of the North of England
Horticultural Society. His Royal Highness is delighted to accept the invitation
and will be the Patron for a term of five years.
His Royal Highness is renowned for his interest in gardening and horticulture
and over recent years has created an organic garden at his Gloucestershire home
Highgrove. His knowledge and passion of gardening makes him an ideal ambassador
for the society.
The North of England Horticultural Society was established in 1911 with the
purpose of organising and encouraging horticulture in the North of England.
Since 1927 the NEHS has concentrated on staging annual spring and autumn shows.
These shows have grown in size and popularity and are today known as the
Harrogate Spring and Autumn Flower Shows. All profits from the shows are
returned to the charity and used to promote and support horticulture in the
North.
The Harrogate Flower Shows are two of the most prestigious, national shows in
the gardening calendar. The shows attract visitors from across the nation to
view the wonderful floral displays, seek advice on ‘growing your own’ and
witness the latest in horticultural innovation.
Show Director Martin Fish says, "We are incredibly honoured that The Prince
of Wales has agreed to become Patron of the North of England Horticultural
Society. His love of gardening is well known and I hope that we as a leading
gardening charity can echo His Royal Highness’ enthusiasm and gardening ethos,
not only at our shows but also when supporting horticulture in the North of
England. As a horticulturist myself I’m fully aware of the positive benefits of
gardening and I’m sure with the support of HRH The Prince of Wales we can get
this message across to gardeners old and new."

Introducing the North of England Horticultural Society's new
'Corporate Club'
The Harrogate Flower Shows organised by the North of England
Horticultural Society (NEHS) are two of the most highly regarded flower
shows on the show circuit and attract the very top nursery exhibitors from
across the UK.
The NEHS is a leading gardening charity supporting horticulture in the
North of England and for spring 2010 have just launched their new Corporate
Club.
Benefits of the Corporate Club include:
- 10 tickets for both the Harrogate Spring & Autumn Shows,
- show catalogues in advance,
- on-site car parking and an acknowledgement on the sponsors board at
the show.
The first company to sign up is Williams Investment Management LLP from
Victoria Avenue, Harrogate and senior partner Robert Ash says’ " We are
delighted to be connected with the Harrogate Flower Shows and are looking
forward to visiting both shows".
Show Director Martin Fish says "The Harrogate Flower Shows are well
established, but it’s surprising how many people are not aware of the work
the NEHS does, despite the society being almost 100 years old. The
involvement of local businesses will help to raise public awareness of the
work that the North of England Horticultural Society is involved with.
The Corporate Club offers members networking opportunities and a great
way to entertain whilst supporting the charities work. To find out more
about the Corporate Club and the Harrogate Flower Shows contact the show
