Well, that was a really rather pleasant Bank Holiday. And
it marked the Open Garden day in Charlbury. The National Gardens Scheme is a
rather splendid charity that organises people with great gardens to open them up
to the public for a day a year. Founded in 1927 it raises funds for a range of
charities like ACEVO members Marie Curie, Macmillan, Help the Hospices, the NT
and Alzheimer’s. Over the last 10 years £22m has been raised. This year over 3,800
gardens will open. So a good cause indeed. And the 2 Charlbury gardens are a
marvel. My friends Andrew and Briony Lawson own Gothic House and have a real
plantsman's garden and the Priory have a great 7 acres laid to formal gardens
and trees and scrubland that run down to the River Evenlode.
See for yourself here.
