Leaving Grindleton at 6 p.m. the coach headed towards Skipton and over Blubberhouses to Dacre Banks, in Nidderdale, where the party visited the beautiful garden of Yorke House. Essentially a florist’s garden, the beds are full of beautiful foliage plants for flower arranging. Because of its location, the garden is susceptible to winds and the cold in winter. It is on clay soil and, there fore, restricted to plants which thrive in moist conditions. Gardens with ponds and streams are planted to attract wildlife, and there is a particular emphasis on colour co ordination everywhere. Members loved the whole garden, with its quiet corners and beautiful views, and especially its very peaceful atmosphere. The evening finished with an excellent
