A quick wander through Judith's garden this morning, and the main event is DAFFODILS!!! In a garden over 100 years old, 55 of them under Judith's care, these bundles of cheer have multiplied and multiplied. As have the Hellebores! Carpets of them under enormous trees and flowering shrubs.
Judith's is a classic country garden, with a myriad of seasonal features. Spring is a highlight, so come on out for a visit. Call ahead, if you would like a Devonshire Tea. Judith 06 3724 804.
Autumn has really kicked in now. Many of the shrubs and smaller trees are ablaze with colour! The enormous vegetable garden is ready for harvest, the perennials are in full flight, and things are looking beautiful! Come on out and have a look. No booking required. $5 entry. Yes - that is correct - $5!! Judith would love to see you. Telephone ahead if you would like Devonshire Tea. 06 3724 804.
What a great spring so far - warm, with just enough rain. Take away the ferocious wind, and it would have been perfect! Dursley has some perfect blooms at the moment, so well worth the 15 minute journey from Masterton. No appointment necessary - just show up.
Current features: large cherry trees, *TREE PEONY* (stunning - see pics), tulips, Lilacs, bluebells, plus lots of perennials just starting to open every day. It looks a picture.
This spring has been better than ever in the garden at Dursley. The feature through September has to be the large array of flowering trees - cherry, crabapple, magnolia and more. The daffodils and hellebores are giving way to grape hyacinths, tulips, miniature bearded iris and other treasures.
Make the most of the spring sunshine and come out to visit at any time. The garden is open seven days a week, with no appointment required. Bring a picnic, or if you would like Devonshire Tea, then give Judith a call prior to your visit (06 3724 804), or try your luck on the day! $7 pp.
