The garden will be open on Saturday, August 30th, from 10 AM to 5 PM.

New Ogbourne Manor, dating back to 1619, is situated beside the village church.
The current owners have enhanced the gardens over the past 20 years, which now include a parterre, swimming pool, tennis court, vegetable garden, and stable block.
Notable features of the garden include roses along the parterre walls and dahlias in the borders.
The Manor House, while not open to the public, has historical significance as the location from which love letters were written during World War II, a story highlighted in the book and film "Operation Mincemeat."
Visitors are encouraged to check the National Garden Scheme website for any updates before their visit.
