SPRING

Spring sees a mix of every hue at Dursley. Because of it's size (3.9 acres), Dursley has many different gardens within it (designers call these 'rooms', but Judith is in denial!). With scarlet tulips featuring in one area, apricot roses and catmint in another, purple lupins, Spanish bluebells and daffodils still in full flight and a mixture of roses, there is no area not touched by some bloom or another. Most of these photos were taken in October/November.

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.............
