Tell your friends!&#8217; With paths through a gorge and a bridge across the beck, this is somewhere for all garden-lovers to visit, with primulas, orchids, cobra lilies, blue poppies and more than 50 kinds of rhododendron. It is also home to the Harewood Stupa, a Buddhist monument built by monks from the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parcevallhallgardens.co.uk\/\">Parcevall Hall <\/a><\/strong> at Appletreewick has many plants and trees from the Himalayas and a new Himalayan walk is being constructed as you approach the gardens.

Most Himalayan plants above need an\u00c2\u00a0 acid soil.<\/li>\n<li>In the mountains there must be lots of regular rain (that is true in Yorkshire) so you need\u00c2\u00a0 water retentive soil to help shallow rooted Rhododendrons develop buds for next year.<\/li>\n<li>Try get features in proportion, you can grow dwarf plants with\u00c2\u00a0 rocks in an alpine setting or slightly larger plants on as hillside. Fully grown plants may dwarf most gardens.<\/li>\n<li>You could theme your garden to another country or style. Himalayas are &#8216;in&#8217; at the moment but Italian,\u00c2\u00a0 Japanese and Prairie gardens\u00c2\u00a0 have their moments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"Himalayan garden Grewelthorpe 276 by brianpettinger, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hortoris\/7189767534\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5196\/7189767534_9c0c0f87bf.jpg\" alt=\"Himalayan garden Grewelthorpe 276\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Yorkshire we are lucky to have several gardens designed using the theme of a Himalayan Garden.
