John's Garden: Open for Charity Every Saturday

Autumn in John’s Garden brings some fine displays of spectacular foliage colour, late-flowering herbaceous perennials and Autumn bulbs. The grass border is at its peak, shimmering in the soft sunlight and spangled with echinacea and Michaelmas daisies while the many cultivars of Hydrangea paniculata have taken on their beautiful burnished hues. Late Autumn sees carpets of cyclamen and colchicums, malus trees laden with crab apples and the fiery hues of liquidambar, euonymus and acers.

About John’s Garden

John’s Garden’ is a wonderful eight acre private garden created by nursery owner John Massey VMH. Informal borders, island beds and woodland dells are set against the beautiful backdrop of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.

Regarded as one of the finest private small gardens in the UK, it is a ‘plantsman’s garden’ that has an abundance of rare plants as well as many familiar favourites, together with magnificent collections of trees, shrubs, and conifers adding to the interest all year round.
