John’s Garden Cancer Research Open Day

This special Sunday Open Day is supporting Cancer Research UK.  John’s Garden in August sees a glorious display of grasses, herbaceous perennials, daphnes and clematis, while a stunning selection of hydrangea species are the undisputed stars of the late Summer show. The Christopher Lloyd border is vibrant with exotic foliage colour and the South African border dazzles with  kniphofias, agapanthus, eucomis and diascias.  A Mediterranean garden adds considerable interest and, throughout the garden, there are inspirational Summer patio pots to enjoy.

We will be welcoming volunteers from Kinver and Enville Fundraising Group as well as local harpist Helen Barley and the AB Ukelele Group (times of performances to be confirmed).

About John’s Garden
