That last picture is beautiful, Tee Gee.  We were talking about a holiday to Scotland next year as I have never visited the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens.  The problem is that it is a bit too far to drive and if we went with Shearings or another coach company, I would not be able to take my mobility scooter.  They have scooters available to use at the gardens but the rest of the time I would be confined to the hotel as my mobility is very limited these days. 

Thanks for posting.

Do the journey in stages.  You could stop off at Harrogate and visit Harlow Carr on the way up and come back another way.  Make it a garden tour ans top at other places on the way there and back.

Thanks for your suggestion, Obelixx.  I would like to visit the Edinburgh Botanical gardens in April, May or June as I feel gardens look their best at that time of year.  Unfortunately, it is also the time when I am at my busiest in the garden, so have to limit holidays to 8 days maximum during those months. 

Instead of Edinburgh, we are now thinking of going back to Swaledale in early June.  The countryside, with its fields of buttercups, beautiful River Swale and wealth of bird life, is one of my favourite places in the UK.  We could visit Eggleston Hall Gardens for a day trip whilst in the area.  We have been there before in 2011 and enjoyed the gardens very much. The lupins were magnificent. 

We visited Harlow Carr a few years ago when we were members of the RHS.  It is lovely there, though I prefer the RHS gardens at Wisley and Rosemoor.

There are plenty of other gardens to visit on the way up or down and another couple of days won't make that much difference to your garden though I too hate to be away from mine in spring and early summer.   I usually limit myself to 3 or 4 days to go to the Chelsea Flower Show but this year it'll be a week with OH in tow to so we can go and visit Hyde Hall and Beth Chatto's garden too.

You'll see a lot of changes at Harlow Carr if you haven't been for a while. Swaledale is beautiful. I'd also recommend Parceval Hall gardens in Wharfedale, and if you've got a bit longer and like walleds garddens, Scampston, Helmsley and Burton Agnes are all lovely.
