Harrogate Council's horticultural nursery and plant sales centre near RHS Harlow Carr will close and the land sold for housing development
Officers prepared a report that does not disclose the specific location of the land the council wants to buy, citing a confidentiality exemption, only that it’s in the Killinghall and Hampsthwaite ward and is valued above £250,000., Michael Schofield, told the Local Democracy Service the move away from Harlow Hill will be keenly felt by residents as many have walked there to buy plants for decades. He said: “You’re forcing people who live here to drive their car elsewhere.
He said many people enjoy buying plants there and walking through the Pinewoods and Valley Gardens afterwards.He added the nursery also serves as part of a horticultural trail as it connects with RHS Harlow Carr and Horticap. He said:“I understand what people may call progress but we have three fantastic horticultural sites all within walking distance of each other. That inspires people. Residents living here will be very sad to see it go”.
