A popular annual charity Garden Open Day will once again welcome visitors, as local resident Philip Jones opens his beautiful private garden in memory of his late wife, Nerys.
Held each year in Trefonen, the event raises funds for charities close to the family’s heart. This year’s beneficiaries are the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, Nerys’s chosen charity, Hope House Children’s Hospices, Prostate Cancer Research, and the Midland Air Ambulance Charity.
The garden, covering just under one acre, features colourful herbaceous flower beds, mature trees and shrubs, well-kept lawns and attractive hard landscaping. It has been approved for inclusion in the National Garden Scheme’s renowned Yellow Book, but Philip has once again chosen to open it privately to maximise the funds raised for charity.
The Garden Open Day has become a well-supported community event. Last year, more than 300 visitors enjoyed the garden, helping to raise over £1,600 for the nominated charities. Organisers are hoping for another successful day with strong support from residents across Trefonen, Oswestry and the surrounding area.
Admission to the garden is free, and visitors are invited to enjoy complimentary tea, coffee and homemade cakes. Rather than charging an entrance fee, guests are encouraged to make a donation, with all proceeds going directly to the four charities.
This year’s Garden Open Day will take place on Sunday, 9 August, from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm, at Tanyfron, Chapel Lane, Trefonen, Oswestry, SY10 9DY. If poor weather prevents the event from taking place, it will be postponed until Sunday, 16 August, at the same times.
Ample parking will be available in a neighbouring field, while limited parking on the driveway has been reserved for disabled and elderly visitors.
