Full Description
The Great Gardens of Cornwall represents the very best of the huge number of estates and gardens open to the public in Cornwall. Their diversity is astonishing: from the castle setting of Caerhays, with its long traditions of magnolia and camellia propagation dating back to the days of the Victorian plant hunters, to the cutting-edge modernism of contemporary garden sculpture at Tremenheere. Also in the group are the extraordinary Abbey Garden on Tresco, in the Isles of Scilly; the Mediterranean jewel of Lamorran House Gardens, and the historic Tregothnan, as well as family favourites including The Eden Project, Trebah, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the gardens of the National Trust. This book celebrates twenty-five years of The Great Gardens of Cornwall: nineteen excellent Cornish gardens, their owners and head gardeners who, over the years, have loved and tended them and made them today's great gardens.
