Thousands of visitors have been admiring the beautiful Welcome to Yorkshire garden this week with its chalk cliffs, ruined abbey and beach scene. The garden, awarded a silver medal by RHS Chelsea judges, was designed by Leeds-based Tracy Foster and made with 30 tonnes of Yorkshire stone, sand and pebbles. And today original Calendar Girls Tricia Stewart (Miss October) and Ros Fawcett (Miss November) took centre stage in the garden alongside the stage stars of The Girls West End musical, Claire Machin, Debbie Chazen and Sophie-Louise Dann. Tricia said: “I just think the Welcome to Yorkshire garden looks wonderful. I love this beach and sea and the white rocks are fantastic, and the abbey! I think it’s inspired and I love it. It’s definitely the best one here. “This garden gives everyone a taste of Yorkshire. Some people have no idea about how wonderful Yorkshire is, and this garden just shows it off.” Ros said: “It’s just as though we’re on the east coast of Yorkshire and it’s wonderful. “I would say to everyone: come and visit Yorkshire first and then come down to the Calendar Girls show in London and then they can appreciate it all.” Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire: “Yorkshire‘s wowing London right now, both in the West End with The Girls musical and here at Chelsea with our spectacular garden.
