Gardens in Cornwall

Cornwall is often described as the 'garden capital of the world' as the lush vegetation and colour give garden lovers a feast for the eyes all year round.

Whether you are a serious horticulturalist, specialist gardener, enthusiastic amateur, holidaymaker or a day-tripper, Cornwall's magnificent gardens can show you everything from wild woodland to neatly manicured lawns, the small and unusual, those with eccentric features, to the large and famous - all of whose plants, flowers, palms and trees thrive in Cornwall's mild coastal climate.

Below are just a few of the highlights.  Call us on 01637 873 333 to let us arrange your Cornwall Garden's Experience.
