What's on in Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire in April
It's so uplifting seeing the spring flowers come through bringing colour to our gardens again. It's a lovely time to visit gardens like Cliveden, Stowe, Hughenden and Greys Court as the spring bulbs and blossom hit their peak.
Walks, talks and tours
Head to Stowe for free guided tours of the garden or Waddesdon for behind the scenes tours to see where the servants lived and worked. Or visit Coleshill in West Oxfordshire for a 'Secrets of Coleshill' tour or a Second World War walk.
Spring garden displays
The best spring gardens are at Cliveden in Buckinghamshire, where the Water Garden is pink with magnolia and blossom and the parterre is looking sharp and colourful. Greys Court is a more domestic-feeling garden with intimate garden rooms, bright with bulbs, snakeshead fritillaries and blossom. Hughenden's orchard and walled garden are also fluttering with blossom and the borders are starting to fill out. Waddesdon's Aviary garden is spectacular with blocks of colour and the carpet bedding on the parterre is pristine.
