Japanese Garden Society Member and Gardener, Andrew Deighton, runs a monthly maintenance session at the Japanese Garden at Danescourt Cemetery. For anyone near Wolverhampton, all are welcome to join, no prior experience necessary, and tools are provided. More details of the October one are available on the JGS website. A stalwart contingent from the Wolverhampton Horticultural Society (WHS) also take part to look after this fantastic karesansui (or Zen Garden!) originally designed and made by Peter Bridge. The garden is open to the public during normal cemetery hours.

Photos of the fantastic historic garden at Tatton Park, a verdant green oasis in the north west of England. The garden was commissioned by Alan de Tatton after visiting the Anglo-Japanese Exhibition in Hammersmith in 1910. The old Torri gates are believed to come from the exhibition, and are inscribed with Meiji 43, the 43rdyear of the reign of the Emperor Meiji, 1910. These photos were taken earlier this week by JGS Member, Kate Bowker, in 2026 (or Reiwa 8!).

Danescourt Cemetery near Wolverhampton has a stunning Japanese Garden. Owned by the council, and maintained by volunteers from the Japanese Garden Society (JGS) and the Wolverhampton Horticultural Society (WHS), this garden is well worth a visit. It's open to the public and free to visit. Thanks to all our volunteers for the hard work they do.

Any visitor to Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden may very well see a heron at the pond. Here are a few shots of the herons (as there were two, but not in the same shot!) These clips were taken in the early morning, which is a good way to avoid the crowds!

At the weekend, ᴛʜᴇ ᴊᴀᴘᴀɴᴇsᴇ ɢᴀʀᴅᴇɴ ᴄᴇɴᴛʀᴇ held an event for the south east region of the Japanese Garden Society. The latter part of the day involved a trip to the Japanese Garden Centre, and a visit to their newly refurbished tea house. A karesansui (zen garden) area was set up for visitors to experiment with rock arrangements and raking on a miniature scale.
