The garden showcases Himalayan plants because of the natural acid soil, springs and microclimate in North Yorkshire. Besides looking at the wonderful gardens and sculptures, the purpose of the photographic group's visit was to practice and take macro photography. Macro Photography is close-up photography of small subjects including bugs and flowers which can be done using special lenses or camera settings. Our group had a wonderful day exploring the valley, plants and gardens.
