A Garden for All Seasons

There is never a time at Dursley when the garden is completely dormant. Judith has planted the garden in layers so that when one thing finishes, another is just starting. Visiting at different times of the year enables the seasonal changes to be appreciated. The colours in winter are more subtle than the vibrancy of high summer for example.

Welcome to Dursley Garden

Dursley is a large country garden surrounding a family home, and is open to the public. The owner and 'Head Gardener' is Judith Callaghan. Judith welcomes garden visitors through-out the year, as the garden changes significantly from season to season.

The large nature of the garden means there are expansive plantings of various plants featuring at any one time - from roses, and perennials in summer, to daffodils, tulips and hellebores in winter and spring. Visit the pages below for more detail, and to see some of the feature plantings at Dursley.

For those who adore good old fashioned hospitality and country gardens, Judith would love to see you.............
