Officials weigh the onions during judging at the giant vegetable competition at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show on September 13, 2019 in Harrogate, England. The UK’s premier Autumn gardening show is taking place at the Great Yorkshire Showground this weekend with up to 40,000 visitors expected to attend the 3-day event. The centre piece for the show will be the ‘Back to the Future’ floral display that aims to capture the essence of Newby Hall and Gardens which will become the new home of the Autumn Flower Show in 2020. Harrogate Flower Shows are organised twice a year by the North of England Horticultural Society, a leading gardening charity set up in 1911 to promote horticulture across the north. The 2019 event will be the 44th Autumn show, which was originally held in the town’s Valley Gardens, before moving to the Exhibition Halls in 1983 and the Great Yorkshire Showground in 1995.
