The Oasis Gardens hosts the first Liquorice Garden in Worksop for 100 years. Also on site is the Flowers for Life project, a therapeutic gardening project growing and selling cut flowers and floristry.

The gardens will be open on July 8, from 10am-3pm, with free entry for children, disabled access from Longfellow Drive, plants for sale, refreshments, a picnic area and cashless payments.

Each visit helps raise monies for nursing and cancer charities. Last year, the National Garden Scheme donated £3.11 million to its beneficaries.
