About 8 Rectory Road

A garden in the centre of Solihull only two minutes from the busy High Street and shopping centre. The garden has an unusual decking area, summer house and three water features. Parking in Rectory Road is restricted to the top end of the road, but a multi storey car park is at the other end of Rectory Road, two minutes walk from the garden. Malvern and Bruton Parks are at the end of Rectory Road, both with car parks: these are about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the garden.

In September the garden is open in the evening where it lit by different coloured lights and you can wander around the various sections of the garden with a glass of wine. Not suitable for children, due to lighting conditions.

Japanese themed features and stunning Moon gate.
