The show opened on Friday (September 18) for three days of horticultural excellence as the show celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Set in the grounds of one of England’s finest stately homes, the show features a number of favourites including plant nurseries, a world-famous giant vegetable competition, live theatre and Britain’s biggest display of autumn blooms.
Nick Smith, Show Director, said: “This is a particularly special year for the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show as we celebrate 50 years since the first show in 1976."
The Harrogate Autumn Flower Show takes place from Friday 18 till Sunday 20 September at Newby Hall and Gardens, near Ripon.
Adult tickets are £29, with under-16s and general parking free.
Tickets are available online and on the gate.
