Priors Oak is in Aldeburgh, a small town on the east coast of England known internationally for the Aldeburgh Festival, an annual event devoted to music. Trudie’s garden sits adjacent to the North Warren Bird Reserve, a patchwork of marshes, reedbeds, woodlands and heaths that attract birds and butterflies of all sorts and, of course,birdwatchers. A high point Priors Oak’s property line offers a view across the reserve to the North Sea. We have two general open days planned at the moment: Sunday June 24th from 2.00pm to 5.30pm in support of the National Garden Scheme. Further details on the NGS Web Site - £3 entrance and teas extra.
Paul Buckle my expert gardener is always on hand to answer questions and offer advice.. Plenty of parking space and wheel chair friendly. N.B.......discovered that in several outlets including the NGS this open day is recorded as being on the 23rd. As a result I shall be opening the garden on both afternoons of the weekend 23rd and 24th June. The garden I share the open day with , Brick Kiln Cottage, is only open on the Sunday, so those wishing to visit both gardens should come on the 24th. Sunday July 29th from 10.30am to 5.30pm in support of Butterfly Conservation. Further details on the Butterfly Conservation (Suffolk Branch) web site The day will include guided butterfly walks both morning and afternoon, and the opening of the previous nights moth traps. Experts will be on hand, as will information and literature. The garden now has a walkway around the edge of the small wood in the wildlife area with a 100 buddleia bushes (over 30 different varieties). No teas, cold drinks only but picnics welcomed.Entrance is free but a donation to Butterfly Conservation is appreciated. |
