Furzey in full colour
April and May are the most colourful months at Furzey Gardens. As spring unfolds, the garden comes into its own, with bold displays, rare and unusual plants, and something new to discover around every corner.
Whether you’re visiting with family, looking for inspiration for your own garden, or simply taking time to wander, this is the moment to experience Furzey at its most colourful.
What to see this spring
Spring colour takes centre stage at Furzey. Rhododendrons and azaleas bring vibrant bursts of pink, purple and gold, with fresh waves of colour continuing to emerge across the garden as the season unfolds.
Throughout the garden, historic and unusual plants come into bloom, creating a landscape that feels rich, varied and full of life.
A day out in full colour
Furzey is a place to explore at your own pace. Winding paths lead through colourful borders, fairy doors appear in unexpected places, and every turn offers something new to discover.
For families, it’s a chance to follow what catches their eye. For others, it’s a space to slow down, take in the detail and enjoy the garden at its most vibrant.
Grown with care

Spring is one of the busiest times of year, as the team nurture the planting that makes Furzey so special.
