Default Oxford gardens to visit

Looking for suggestions on gardens to visit near Oxford late May.
Small group from overseas. Any thoughts on Barnsley House and Rousham
House?

Any advice most appreciated.

Is this too far?

because the bluebell woods in May are well worth the journey.

Have you considered Greys Court (National Trust)? If you do go there, see the
Maharajah's well and cherry orhard on the way. I am sure you will find them via

Don't neglect the University Bot Gardens down by the Cherwell, at the
bottom of the High, opposite Magdalen.
