In pictures: Yorkshire at Chelsea Flower Show 2011
The 98th RHS Chelsea Flower Show is taking place in London and the Leeds City Council garden wins a gold medal for the second year running
The centrepiece is a 3m (10ft) water wheel pumping water around the garden.
Areas of rockwork, trees, ferns and plants complete its natural look and feel.
More natural planting in the gold medal-winning garden.
The design is to celebrate the role water power played in the industrial past.
In another Yorkshire garden, The Art of Yorkshire, celebrates the county's art and landscape.
The garden, inspired by the work of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, David Hockney, Andy Goldsworthy and others, has won a silver medal.
At its heart the garden features an original Barbara Hepworth sculpture, Ascending Form.
The easel allows visitors to view the garden through the eyes of an artist.
Paving and planting represent field patterns, rolling moors and the rocky hills of Yorkshire.
