GARDENS
The climate on the Roseland is a bit of a law unto itself and this has greatly influenced the gardening which, in many cases has a sub-tropical feel. Apart from the well known National Trust gardens indicated below, (which we do recommend) please don’t leave without visiting a little, but really super small private garden up the road from towards St Mawes.
Poppy Cottage Garden is a true labour of love; Dave and Tina have created an inspirational garden behind their dolls-house of a cottage. It is now part of the coveted National Garden Society’s Yellow Book.
The next nearest garden that many people miss in the phlethora of famous ones is Lamorran Gardens tucked into the hill in St Mawes. |
The following are the well known beautiful gardens:
Caerhays Castle Gardens, Caerhays, Gorran, St Austell
Glendurgan Garden, Mawnan Smith, Falmouth
Lost Gardens of Heligan, Pentewan, St Austell
Penjerrick Garden, Budock, Falmouth
Trebah Garden, Mawnan Smith, Falmouth
Trelissick Garden, Feock, Truro, TR3 6QL (you will need to cross the river on the King Harry for this one which adds to the adventure!)
Trengwainton Garden, Penzance
Tresco Abbey Gardens, Isle of Scilly (you may want to take a
weekend to do this)
Trewithen Gardens, Truro
And of course, Cornwall's highly acclaimed Eden Project which is about fifteen
minutes away.
