Gardeners at Home

We are very fortunate at Hereford Cathedral to have a team of incredible volunteer gardeners who lovingly tend to our stunning gardens. During lockdown, our volunteers have been able to spend more time in their own gardens and have sent us a selection of photos of what is currently blooming. It looks like our volunteer's gardens are as wonderful as the gardens of the cathedral!

An open peony flower, the centre is a dark purple colour with vibrant yellow pollen. The petals are a soft pink that start darker at the bottom of the petal and turn almost white at the tip. The edges of the petal are ragged and fragile
