Come and visit a beautiful country garden

 Dursley is a charmingly unpretentious country garden. Set around a 100 year old homestead, Judith has created a haven of colour, seasonal change, structure and character. 

The drive out to Dursley is 20 minutes through Wairarapa farmland, to the gorgeous Bideford Valley. It makes a great day trip to bring out of town visitors to, or just enjoy the outing yourself. 

Telephone Judith first, and she will make up a Devonshire Tea for you and your group if you like. Open every day, except Christmas. No appointment needed. Telephone 06 3724 804.

At the moment, the garden is a glorious riot of colour, with the Portulaca the star of the show around the perennial gardens. Take a look at the photos below! Also many perennials and roses are in their prime at the moment. Come on out and see for yourself!
