The vegetable garden at Dursley is enormous! Judith puts a lot of time into growing edibles of every description. And ALWAYS surplus to send friends and family home with! These photos show the mid spring garden, just kicking into gear. Seeds sown, labelled and weeded. All set ready for action. The cages are to protect from birds, but particularly Californian Quail! They see this as their personal pantry, I am sure.
Perennials are starting to flower, and there are large swathes of some special plants worth looking out for - Trilliums and Lily of the Valley, in particular.
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.
