The Vicarage garden with its resident chickens, ducks and geese, is Steve’s pride and joy, he also designed the pub garden where eating al fresco is enjoyed. Herefordshire has much for garden lovers and we list a few of the attractions. During the summer many private houses also open their gardens as part of The Red Cross scheme.
