THE 40 years that Oare House has showcased its gardens for the National Garden Scheme is still going strong as another event is planned next month.
Sir Henry and Lady Keswick were presented with a commemorative sundial by NGS county organiser Sean Magee this week to mark the four decade-long milestone.
The Keswicks are passionate plant collectors and have a fine collection of rarities and the arboretum has a wide variety of trees and shrubs, many grown from seed collected in the wild in China.
The gardens will be open on June 25 from 2-6pm and will cost £5.50 to enter.
