The hotel remains as the Harrogate Arms and the bath house now houses the Study Centre. At certain times the smell of sulphur in this area is quite distinct. There are over 10,000 members who support the work of the Northern Horticultural Society - we have a strong volunteer programme, many people open their gardens to raise money for us and we have a business sponsorship scheme. The Northern Horticultural Society is a registered charity and relies upon the goodwill and generosity of its members to further its work. Gifts, large or small, are always appreciated.
Tax incentives are available for single gifts, deeds of covenant or legacies.
