A new garden is opening for the scheme. Culverness Cottage, Bayton Common, home of Keith Wilkins and Dorothy Beadsworth, will open for the first time on Sunday.

The cottage is situated on the A456 on the Kidderminster road from Clows Top. Take the B4202 towards Cleobury Mortimer and the cottage is about a mile on the right.

This Japanese stroll garden of a third of an acre boasts a large koi pond and a turtle island, typical Japanese formations with lanterns and water basins, two waterfalls and a stream leading to a pond, numerous azaleas, bamboos and other plants, trees and shrubs.

Other Japanese structures include a wall and a tea house. Children will be admitted free.
