The Weir Garden is a National Trust (NT) riverside garden located just outside Hereford. As NT members, we can access the garden as many times as we like. Late Winter/Spring (February - May) is the best time to see, in chronological order, the snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells and wild garlic.

There are a number of old trees, albeit fewer than last year. It seems that every winter storm wreaks havoc on the treescape at The Weir Garden.

Despite the overcast, cold conditions (4 ℃), it was the usual invigorating trip to The Weir Garden. We popped over to the Walled Kitchen Garden which was looking tidy and ready for sowing, planting, etc. The gardeners were preparing and washing strawberry runners and watering various cuttings ready for public sale. Fortunately, these activities could be carried out in the glasshouse, away from the chill wind.
