Start your year off with an inspirational visit to the library at RHS Garden Harlow Carr.  Here, you will be able to admire two of our much-loved seasonal embroideries of the garden.  Created for us by the immensely talented Richmond & Leyburn Creative Stitchers, the two scenes on display show Winter and Spring in all their embroidered glory.  They feature Harlow Carr’s stunning Winter Walk with its fiery red cornus stems and striking silver birch trees alongside Spring tulips and Muscari.
 
To create these beautifully embroidered scenes, two photographs were taken of the garden and cut up into 48 squares. These were then given to each of the embroiderers to interpret in their own individual way.  The finished pieces were then put together like a jigsaw to create the two whole pictures in exquisite embroidery form.
