Wyevale Nurseries has announced that Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Gloucester will visit its Hereford site on 13 July, where she is expected to tour the nursery and meet members of the team.
During the visit, The Duchess will be shown key areas of the business, including growing operations and environmental initiatives, with a focus on sustainable land use and biodiversity.
