GREEN-FINGERED garden fans were today flocking to the start of a popular North Yorkshire flower show.
A blaze of colour and blooming great plants of all shapes and sizes will grace the Great Yorkshire Showground over four days at the 2004 Harrogate Spring Flower Show.
Highlights include a new plant societies' marquee, rural arts and crafts, flower arranging, fine country foods and a shuttle bus to Harrogate town centre.
More than 100 leading horticultural nurseries from across the UK will also attend.
Sam Cryer, chairman of the North of England Horticultural Society, said he hoped visitors found this year's show "interesting and invigorating".
The festival, sited off the A661, is open daily until Sunday, from 9.30am to 5.30pm. The Showground closes at 4.30pm on the last day.
For tickets call 0870 758 3333 or pay on the gate.
