Welcome to the first of our new weekly Medieval Herb Garden (MHG) volunteer blogs! Our dedicated team of volunteer gardeners meet regularly on Mondays at Pontefract Castle.
Find out more about their new blog series here.
However, things aren’t kicking off quite as we inteded thanks to a belated white Christmas…
Week one: 6 January 2025

| The Medieval Herb Garden in the snow over the weekend |
The snow is still lingering this bright Monday morning. That stops us doing any work in the Medieval Herb Garden today.
This week we
will be doing more research on the plants in the garden instead.
Fortunately, the snow doesn’t seem to have badly damaged any plants on the MHG. Nine plant varieties are still hanging in there, with flowers poking through the snow.

See how many plant varities you can find on a walk around the castle this week!
