John's Garden: Charity Open Days

John’s Garden in Summer sees a glorious display of grasses, herbaceous perennials, daphnes and clematis. A stunning selection of iris and Itoh peonies can be enjoyed in early Summer while a 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.
