Ranked in Britain’s top three gardening events by readers of Which?Gardening, Harrogate Autumn Flower Show is the country’s most prestigious independent autumn show.

Featuring beautiful show gardens, amazing giant vegetable competition, stunning plant nursery displays and expert demonstrations, it offers everything needed to create a perfect outdoor space.

New for 2013 is our very first ChilliFest, with 100s of different plants, lots of hot tips for growing your own chillies and great ideas for what to do with them, including delicious dishes and even some rather spicy floral art!  

Be astounded

Our giant vegetable competition gets even bigger this autumn with five new classes weighing in for the latest battle with a bulge, including colossal carrots, very large leeks and prodigious pumpkins. Can we make it three years in a row for a heavy onion world record? You will also be amazed by the sheer spectacle of Britain’s biggest exhibition by specialist gardening groups. Lose yourself in a sea of over 5,000 fabulous autumn blooms where colours and aromas combine to create an unforgettable experience.

Be inspired

Take home ideas and inspiration from the creators of our beautiful autumn show gardens, all staged in a new central location on the showground.  Top growers from across the country will also be seeking perfection as they vie for the UK’s most prestigious titles in the National Vegetable Championships, hosted for 2013 by our autumn show.

Be prepared

Remember every great garden starts in the autumn! The show provides the perfect opportunity to plan your garden for the new growing season with an unrivalled range of top quality plants from nearly 100 leading nurseries, plus great garden shopping for everything from gloves to greenhouses.
