Garden tours for your group
We also offer general interest group tours for parties of 10 or more, conducted by volunteers who are members of ‘Friends of Harlow Carr’. They give a fascinating overview of the history of the garden and main highlights. The tour costs £2 per person and all profits go towards specific projects in the garden.
