Enchanting Gardens

Cornwall’s mild climate supports a diverse array of horticultural styles, from the futuristic biomes of the Eden Project, built in a former china clay pit, to the restored Victorian landscapes of The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Valley gardens like Trebah and Glendurgan feature subtropical plants and provide access to the Helford River, with the latter housing a historic 1833 cherry laurel maze. Trewidden Garden offers a collection of ancient tree ferns and camellias, showcasing the region's long history of botanical exploration.
