THE joys of the Yorkshire Dales are to be celebrated with an international audience at this year’s RHS Chatsworth Flower Show in June.
Award-winning designer and TV presenter Chris Myers has designed a garden that reflects the changing landscape of the area, as well as highlighting the work of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
"The garden is to be a real celebration of the Yorkshire Dales with a meadow of wildflowers, a pretty little converted barn complete with cottage garden adorned with herbaceous perennials, lavender and roses all nestled within the surroundings of a native broadleaved woodland," he said.
Called "Hay Time in the Dales", the garden will represent some of the charitable work undertaken by the trust, including restoring wildflower hay meadows and native woodlands.
The trust's Tanya St. Pierre said: “Chris is a skilled plantsman and designer with a passion for the Yorkshire Dales landscape, and we were thrilled when he invited us to be involved in this exciting project. I hope this little taste of the Yorkshire Dales will capture the attention of the judges and the public."
