Eight Osney gardens and the Osney Lock Hydro were open on the afternoon of 15 June. The rain stopped in time and there was a good turnout, a variety of beautiful gardens, and Tea on the Towpath with live music. The Osney bakers excelled themselves.

The event raised a total from tea sales and donations of £797.09. This goes to support OIRA activities (newsletter, Bridge Street planters etc).

Thanks to Susan Hutchinson for organising the whole event, to all the helpers and bakers, and to David Jeffrey for the photos.
