\"standing-stones\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Outside the 2009 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.<\/p>\n

2012 update shows the stones front the much improved vegetable plots.<\/em><\/p>\n

The new building, opened in May 2009 for the first time.\u00c2\u00a0 Is a tour de force and shows what finance and labour has been put in by the RHS and particularly the local Alpine and Rock Garden Group.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tufa walls and more mature sink planters are now paying dividends<\/em>.
\nThe plant displays always include a good selection of alpines in flower.\u00c2\u00a0 Crocus and cyclamen were in profusion during November but below are some that took my fancy.<\/em><\/p>\n
