More details about 2024’s visit to be announced. Last year we had a tour by head gardener Jack Ogg, who is part of Leeds branch.
York Gate Garden appeared on Gardeners’ World on BBC2 several times in the last year.
The toilets will be open. The cafe will be closed, so visitors might want to bring their own refreshments.
York Gate Garden is owned by Perennial, a charity that supports people in horticulture.
The garden has a greenhouse collection of cacti and succulents and some outdoor plants, grown in a variety of innovative ways. This is a great opportunity to look around this popular garden as part of a small group.
These 2 large hardy Agave specimens were donated by a Bradford member. They are planted outside, and protected for winter with their own shelters. Other plants are bedded out for summer. The garden in particularly known for its Aeoniums.
The greenhouse contains a range of cactus and succulent plants. Some in pots, but some are planted into the wall!
Visitors are bound to spot something they want to try at home.
As well as its cacti and succulents, York Gate Garden contains a range of unusual plants and quirky features.
