Seven private gardens open for Maggie’s Oxford charity day

The gardens, located across the countryside in South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire, will welcome visitors on Thursday, June 18 in support of Maggie’s Oxford.

The event has been curated by Clare Foster, garden editor at House & Garden, and will raise funds for the cancer support charity.

Tickets can be booked online via: https://tinyurl.com/2f22ccyb

Guests will start the day at The Coaching Barn in Little Stoke, where they will enjoy morning coffee before exploring the gardens at their own pace.

Jodie Mutch, fundraising manager at Maggie’s Oxford, said: “This promises to be a truly special day celebrating beautiful gardens, community and generosity.

“We are incredibly grateful to Clare Foster and her friends for organising such a wonderful event, our garden owners, sponsors and volunteers for helping create such a unique event in support of Maggie’s Oxford.

“Every donation raised will help us continue supporting people with cancer and those they love.”

Highlights include Pyt House near Ashampstead with formal borders and a wildflower meadow, Froomes House in Upper Basildon—home of Clare Foster—and Hailey House in Ipsden, featuring a historic garden designed by Sylvia Crowe.

Guests will return to The Coaching Barn for a two-course lunch and can tour the flower fields at Green & Gorgeous Flower Farm with founder Rachel Siegfried.

Plants, seeds and artisan stalls will be available throughout the day.

Tickets are limited to 100 guests, with all optional donations going directly to Maggie’s Oxford.
