‘Himalaya’, ‘The Abode of Snow’, the vast range of mountain peaks
which arc across Central Asia, has an extraordinary diversity of flora.
Alan Titchmarsh, who opened the garden in May 2009, said “The
Harewood Himalayan Garden is a hidden gem and second to none in the UK.
Tell your friends!”
Harewood’s Himalayan Garden, a redevelopment of the ‘Rock Garden’
nurtured by Princess Mary and her husband the 6th Earl of Harewood in
the 1930s, is this extraordinary world in miniature, a plant-hunter’s
paradise.
With
paths through a gorge and a bridge across the beck, this is somewhere
for all garden-lovers to visit, with primulas, orchids, cobra lilies,
blue poppies and more than 50 kinds of rhododendron.
It is also home to the Harewood Stupa, a Buddhist monument built in
2004 by monks from the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. The Stupa is the
only one of its kind in the UK.
