Dorothy Clive Gardens in Autumn

Visitors can revel in the colours of Autumn and enjoy nature's blazing display at the Dorothy Clive Garden this weekend. From bright reds & buttery golds to deep racing greens & brassy browns, due to such warm weather, there is a truly glorious display.

Visitors can also see colour in the Royal Botanic Glasshouse which is now open to the public and is the only glasshouse in Staffordshire dedicated to the display of plants for public benefit. The planting includes familiar perennials including lemon, grapefruit, figs and olive trees as well as climbing plants such as bougainvillea, plambago and a grape vine. The pathway in the glasshouse has been built in the shape of a Staffordshire knot and allows visitors to walk around the space encountering the spectacular planting which follows the colour spectrum.

The tearoom will be open where visitors can enjoy homemade soup, hot drinks and a selection of cakes, scones and snacks. The garden giftroom will also be open where visitors can stock on Christmas presents. Items are available such as Christmas candles, soaps, handmade crafts, Christmas decorations and Christmas mugs.

Adults are admitted at the special discounted price of £3.50 and children between 5-17 are admitted at £2.00. Members and children aged between 0-4 and admitted free of charge. This is a special fundraising event for the garden.
