National Gardens Scheme - Oare House, Rudge Lane, Oare, Near Pewsey - Sunday 30th June 2pm to 6pm
1740s mansion house later extended by Clough Williams Ellis in 1920s (not open). The original formal gardens around the house have been developed over the years to create a wonderful garden full of many unusual plants. Current owner is very passionate and has developed a fine collection of rarities. Garden is undergoing a renaissance but still maintains split compartments each with its own individual charm; traditional walled garden with fine herbaceous borders, vegetable areas, trained fruit, roses and grand mixed borders surrounding formal lawns. The magnolia garden is wonderful in spring with some trees dating from 1920s, together with strong bulb plantings. Large arboretum and woodland with many unusual and champion trees. In spring and summer there is always something of interest, with the glorious Pewsey Vale as a backdrop.
For this open day you can book your tickets in advance at www.ngs.org.uk or you can just turn up and pay on the day.
This garden also makes a donation to The Order of St John.
