Dunge Valley Rhododendron Gardens
and Hardy Plant Nursery
feature an outstanding collection of
Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Acers, and Magnolias
as well as a wide variety of
unusual Perennials, Trees and Shrubs.

Nestling in the rolling Pennine Hills,
the eight acres of informal woodland gardens,
streams and waterfalls,
flora and fauna create a stunning, ever-changing
kaleidoscope of colourful vistas
throughout the Spring into Summer.

We have now added a new page about
Conservation Matters. Do take some time to read over
what is happening on the rest of Dunge Farm.
