Dursley Trilliums

This group of trilliums is thriving in a dry area under large trees. Not everyone has success with these, but they obviously love life at Dursley....



Tulips

What a difference a week makes! With this warm spring weather, many of the tulips have burst into flower, as you can see. Yet there are still hundreds of them that have not even raised a bud yet. So the season is looking to be long. The daffodils look amazing at the moment, too, with vast areas of them both inside the garden, and down in Dingly Dell - the paddock below the house. Perfect spot for a picnic, or to enjoy a Devonshire tea this weekend.......

Just in this picture - hyacinths, daffodils, magnolia, grape hyacinth, and tulips.
Dingly Dell - the joke name that stuck!! A paddock below the house, full of daffodils and specimen trees. There is a lovely picnic spot you can walk to on a mown path. And doves.

Spring at Dursley Garden

Masses of Hellebores, and thousands and thousands of daffodils are in peak display this month at Dursley. Walking around the garden is a delightful experience at this time of year, with scented shrubs around every corner, and a different bulb staring to flower almost every day. The tulips are not far off bursting into colour. Do come out for a visit any time - Judith would love to see you.
