THE Royal Horticultural Society has opened a £500,000 plant centre and shop in North Yorkshire following an extensive refurbishment of the old facilities.
The shop, at the Harlow Carr gardens, Harrogate, now covers more than 2,300sq m and features a range of plants, gardening and horticultural books, and other books and gifts.
The society's director of enterprises, Alan Roe, said: "We have made this major investment in the new plant centre and shop as a direct response to members' and visitors' needs, and as part of Harlow Carr's ongoing development plans.
"The new shop caters for both members and non-members alike and truly represents a valuable addition to the whole visitor experience at Harlow Carr."
All profits from the centre and shop will go back to the society to help support and develop its gardens, shows, advice, education and research.
