Green-fingered Oxfordshire residents are being asked to open their gardens to raise money for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust.

The charity's Secret Gardens scheme attracts thousands of visitors every year to the nation's hidden garden treasures.

Event organiser Anna Spencer said: "We are looking for beautiful gardens, woodland and parkland of any size.

"An ordinary-sized back garden that has been well designed and looked after will prove as interesting and enjoyable to visitors as the grounds of a stately home."

The trust funds a bone marrow register so it can help patients with leukaemia receive a transplant.
