Award-winning garden prepares to show off autumn colours
The owners of an award-winning garden are encouraging people to visit and see it in all its glory for the last time this year.
The Four Seasons Garden at 26 Buchanan Road, Walsall, will be open to visitors on October 25 and 26 from 10am to 5pm.
The garden has raised more than £34,000 for the National Gardens Scheme and welcomed more than 10,700 visitors since 2006.
Marie Newton, who owns the garden with her husband Tony, said it was the second time this year that the couple had opened up their garden following requests by visitors in the summer.
She said: "It's an autumn garden so people can expect brilliant reds, oranges and yellows.

"There will be azalea and acer leaves along with the evergreen conifers.
"Over two days we can get 350 people but it is dependant on the weather. We sometimes get more and sometimes less.
"We are hoping for some good weather. We are just as keen as ever.
"It's been wonderful the visitors we've had in the past. They have come from 28 different countries in addition to the UK.
"It's good to put Walsall and the West Midlands on the international garden map."
Proceeds raised over the two days will go to the National Gardens Scheme, which supports Macmillan and Marie Curie.
Admission is £3.50 for adults.
