Having cared for Harewood’s gardens for more than 30 years, whilst delving into their long history, there's no one better to share their stories than our award-winning and long-serving Head Gardener, Trevor Nicholson.
Join Trevor for a fascinating guided walk through the Terrace, West Garden, Pleasure Grounds and into the South Garden, where you’ll discover the evolution of Harewood’s landscape, and hear about exciting plans for the future.
From the creation of the Terrace flower schemes and the reopening of the Walled Garden in the 1990s, to the sub-tropical planting of the Archery Border and the redevelopment of the Himalayan Garden in the 2000s, Trevor has witnessed and instigated remarkable change over the past three decades.
Trevor’s influence on the development and enrichment of the gardens continues through the transformation of the old playground site with the planting of 40,000 bulbs, the introduction of no-dig methods in the Walled Garden, and even his TV appearance on ‘Tales of the Riverbank’ where he helped Claire Baldwin across Harewood’s ancient stepping stones.
Whether you’re a keen gardener or simply love Harewood’s landscape, this is a walk and talk not to be missed.
