We're 'Rooting for Restoration' at The Weir as the glasshouse is in need of repair

The impressive glasshouse in the walled garden is utilised year-round at The Weir from over-wintering dahlias to plump and juicy tomatoes in summer. After many years of being in use, the glasshouse is now in desperate need of repair, a responsibility taken on by the National Trust to help give this wonderful piece of history a secure future.
