Century old trees for summer shade

 Summer getting too hot for you yet? Come on out to Dursley to bask in the shade of some of the magnificent 100+ year old trees. Many Oaks, a stunning Strawberry Tree (Arbutus), Cedars, Fir and many many more. Laid out by early NZ landscape architect Alfred Buxton, these trees are stunning in size. Pathways meander between them, with seats and farm vistas to enjoy from their shade. 

Summer is relatively quite under the trees, but winter, spring and autumn feature thousands of bulbs - Martagon lilies, hellebores, and cyclamen in particular. 

Arbutus unedo - Strawberry Tree. One of the largest in the Wairarapa
