Hereford Seed Swap

New Growth

Saturday 1st February 2025
10am to 1pm

Swap your veg and flower seeds in time for the new season. The 16th annual Seed Swap event will be held once again at the Courtyard in Hereford.

​

Beginners and seasoned gardeners are invited to swap seeds, plants and tips.  Those with nothing to swap can still join in and take home some seeds or plants, with cash contributions to help us run the event gratefully received.

 

11.00am:  Talk by Catrina Fenton – Head of Heritage Seed Library (HSL) at Garden Organic. HSL maintains a unique collection of heritage vegetable seeds, preserving varieties that are not widely available.

​

Tools in need of sharpening can be brought along for service.  Unwanted or broken tools can be donated to Tools for Self Reliance, TFSR Cymru.

​

Hereford Wildlife Trust and Aspire Growing will also have stalls.

Gardening Equipment

Westonbury Mill Water Gardens, Cafe and Nursery have reopened

Westonbury Mill Water Gardens

Since Richard and Sally Pim moved away from their beautiful gardens, replete with follies and interesting waterways and plantings, it has been acquired by new owners, Mark and Deborah Constable, who have started to build on the Pim's legacy with new plantings and items, and have reopened it to the public.  

​

The gardens are fascinating; there is also a cafe and a nursery. Well worth a day out!
