Gardening in Yorkshire and The Humber
Yorkshire and the Humber has very different gardens within a short distance. The Pennine side, around Halifax, Sheffield and the Dales, tends to be wetter, colder and higher, with many acidic soils that suit heathers, rhododendrons and hardy shrubs. The Vale of York is flat and can hold frost, with a mix of sandy and clay soils. The Yorkshire Wolds and parts of the East Riding are on chalk, thin and alkaline, while land along the Humber is often heavy, silty clay. The east is noticeably drier than the west, and coastal gardens face cold, salty winds.
How to choose a plant nursery in Yorkshire and The Humber
A good nursery in this region should grow or choose plants that suit northern conditions. Ask whether stock is raised on site or brought in from the south, as plants grown locally are often hardier and better acclimatised. For trees and hedging, look for bare root stock in winter, which is good value for big planting jobs. Specialist growers of wildflowers, perennials or vegetables often give better advice than general outlets. Tell staff your soil type and how exposed your garden is, and look for compact plants with healthy roots rather than lush growth from a heated tunnel.
