Welcome to Yorkshire

Designed by Mark Gregory

Designed by local Mark Gregory, the garden celebrates Yorkshire鈥檚 natural materials, traditional crafts and artisan food production. The stone used in the garden is selected and picked from the Bolton Estate, who are in the middle of a restoration project. Dismantled and fallen walls have been used at the show and will be returned and re-built at the estate.
Set on the edge of a woodland with a mixture of dense and varied planting; a fast flowing tumbling beck (brook) runs through the woodland, into the soft grass and buttercup meadowland, past a stone bothy and cultivated cottage garden. Dry limestone walls divide the pastures and separate the garden bothy from the natural landscape.
The garden is a realistic representation of the Yorkshire Dales, showcasing a buttercup meadow, woodland edge with native trees and cultivated cottage garden.
The colour scheme for around the bothy is a take on a classic romantic cottage garden with hints of purple, pink and white.
