Outside the new Alpine House at the RHS garden in Harrogate are these new ‘Standing Stones’. I am interested to see if the planting links the new building to the sculptures but some how I doubt it. Possibly they are meant to represent the Alps or just be the start of a new part of the garden.
Still the new building, opened this month for the first time, is a tour de force and shows what effort is put in by the RHS and particularly the local Alpine and Rock Garden Group.

A mixed selection in a 2 meter square raised frame-bed. The sort of thing I want to try in my own garden as it is raised to working height and helps the inspection of small plants.
A special open day will be held at Harlow Carr omsunday 7th June ‘All About Alpines’ with displays demonstrations and expert advice. Read more about Harlow Carr on Gods Own County
