Cyclamen @ Dursley

These carpets of cyclamen are a really special feature at Dursley. They grow in the most inhospitable areas, under large conifers, where nothing else will grow. And over the last 45 plus years Judith has been there, they have spread themselves around the garden. Obviously they just adore the conditions!

They are still in full flower, so the next few weeks are perfect to come and visit, to see them for yourselves. There are also many other gorgeous plants enjoying their last hurrah before the frosts and cool winter months cut them down to size.

Flowers Galore!

Dursley is looking an absolute picture at the moment. December and January, in particular, are very very colourful - 100's of roses, and beautiful perennials everywhere. The main colour schemes change through the season as the some flowers peak, and others are just beginning. A perfect time to visit either during the week or on a weekend. Judith is happy to host groups as well. Tel 06 3724 804

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.......

White tulips amongst the roses

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.
