RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate has welcomed some giant-sized new visitors. Four new willow sculptures have been added to the garden’s much-loved collection of willow artwork which includes the Boxing Hares and Big Friendly Giant. They include 15ft Betsy the bee, an ant, a ladybird and a very hungry caterpillar who has taken up residence next to the giant pumpkin patch.

Harlow Carr is also hosting an Autumn Sculpture Trail from 1 September – 31 October featuring a selection of beautiful handmade sculptures – many made by Yorkshire artists – depicting the wildlife that calls Harlow Carr its home, from birds and bees to hares and hedgehogs, as well as more abstract choices inspired by nature, including the four seasons.
