Garden Tours

The wildflowers at Glendurgan are integral to the spirit of place. The juxtaposition provided by the natural, wild beauty of the meadows serve to isolate the exotic flora, creating punctuation within the dramatic landscape that captivates the imagination of all who visit.

Each meadow area possesses its own distinct character, yet all are anchored by a central and crucial element: the Bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta. Previously, it has been noted that the optimal viewing time for these blooms is from the last week of April to the first week of May. However, this year the garden is witnessing their emergence perhaps a week or two earlier.

Amongst these premier features of the meadows thrive an array of other species. Primroses, Primula vulgaris, adorn certain banks abundantly, while others are delicately scattered with these blooms. Columbines, Aquilegia vulgaris, offer a later display with taller hoods in various hues, though in less concentrated colonies. Orchids of diverse varieties made their home here, flowering at different times, thus providing a prolonged period of delight as one chances upon these gems amidst the surrounding meadow foliage. And yet, these examples merely scratch the surface of the remarkable flora that inhabit Glendurgan’s meadows.

Words hardly do justice to the enchanting and emotive experience that pervades Glendurgan during this wildflower showcase—it truly must be experienced first hand.

Visit from the 11th - 19th May to see Glendurgan's bounty of wildflowers at their peak.
