A group of U3A members have been volunteering in the Walled Garden in Ledbury since March 2014 when Herefordshire Council decided that they could no longer afford to maintain the flower beds there.

We work between March and November in two groups, one on Tuesday afternoons and the other on Friday mornings. Each group works on alternate weeks so we work once a fortnight. We have no formal meetings, we just ‘work’! We learn from one another

The thing that probably gives us the greatest joy working in the garden is when local people and visitors stop and chat to us. They ask about the plants we are growing and often tell us how much they enjoy the garden and appreciate our work there.

We would very much like to have a few more members join us. Please let me know if you’re interested.
