The moorland landscape that inspired the work of the Bronte sisters will be recreated at this year’s Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in a tribute to the famous authors.

“The Brontes’ Yorkshire Garden”, which is being put together by tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, aims to transport the scenery that influenced the three novelist sisters to the world-famous show.

The garden will also help commemorate the 165th anniversary of the publication of Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey, all of which appeared in print in 1847.

While working with the Bronte Parsonage Museum the garden’s designer, Tracy Foster, said she had discovered that although the Brontes were influenced by the landscape around them, they were not very good domestic gardeners.

She said: “I’ve taken inspiration from the unique Yorkshire landscape. It has a captivating tension between beauty and bleakness and I’m trying to reflect that in my garden.

“I hope to convey the emotional essence of the place that inspired these women to write such wonderful works of literature, and also to encourage more people to rediscover Haworth, the Brontes and Yorkshire for themselves.”

Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “The Brontes’ Yorkshire Garden will showcase to the world the wild and wonderful landscape of Yorkshire as a source of inspiration for some of the finest literary works of fiction.

“We hope it will encourage more people to rediscover this area of Yorkshire for themselves, as well as seeing more of our county’s wonderful gardens.”

Miss Foster’s garden will be based on a particular location, often visited by the sisters, where a bridge now known as The Bronte Bridge crosses a moorland stream.

The garden will feature a stream, a clapper bridge and other elements of the landscape characteristic of the windswept Pennine Moors.
