Gardens to visit in Cornwall

Towering cordylines, groves of tree ferns, hydrangeas weighed down by pink and blue flowers, spires of echiums… these are the plants that many of us associate with Cornwall. England’s most south-westerly county is bathed by the beneficent Gulf Stream, so gardens are rarely troubled by hard frosts, enabling a far wider range of tender and borderline hardy plants to be grown.
The result is gardens with an air of the exotic, such as subtropical Trebah near Falmouth, Trewidden, near Penzance, where tree ferns spring from the old workings of a tin mine, and the well-known Lost Gardens of Heligan. Fans of the exotic will almost certainly want to head to the nearby Eden Project, where enormous biomes cover an old china clay quarry and are packed with plants from around the world. In contrast, there are formal gardens, too, like the National Trust’s Lanhydrock, a magnificent,
late Victorian country house with extensive woodland and parterres packed with bedding.
Cornwall’s many woodland gardens are arguably at their best in spring. The climate and terroir here suit magnolias and camellias to a tee – there are 500 magnolias alone at Caerhays Castle, near St Austell, and camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons at Trewithen, near Truro. There are many champion specimens at Trewidden and Trebah, too.
Alternatively, wait at Marazion for low tide so you can cross the causeway to historic St Michael’s Mount, a rocky island topped with a picturesque castle and subtropical gardens, parts of which have to be tended by abseiling gardeners but, happily, can be enjoyed by visitors with feet firmly on the ground.
Bosvigo House is an excellent garden to visit from spring to late autumn, with splashes of colour from red salvias in the Hot Garden,

Readers Tips: Repurposed Tools in the Garden Used to Great Effect
Several times a year a visitor to our garden is shocked to find a rogue steak knife pierced downward in one of the beds, as if it were an escapee from our kitchen knife block. I’m always quick to tell them that it’s indeed where I meant to place it, and that I haven’t found any tool as great as a serrated knife when it comes to removing grass or root systems. It’s perfect for edging small areas or pulling up entire sheets of grass; all I have to do is start on one side and pull up as I carefully saw back and forth. It can be a cheap purchase from a thrift store—or in my case, the way I finally convinced my husband that we needed a new set of kitchen knives.
