Trevarno,
Set in the heart of the Trevarno Estate, which dates back to 1246,
the beautiful Victorian and Georgian gardens are gradually being
restored.There
are a variety of themed gardens within the Estate including a
special collection of bamboos and a 'pinetum' comprising nearly
200 varieties.
The
National Museum of Gardening is a remarkable celebration of Britain's
gardening heritage. There are a number of workshops on site including
The Bee Workshop, the Organic Herbal and the Handmade Soap Workshop.

the care of the National Trust, Trellisick
overlooks Carrick Roads (the Falmouth Estuary) and as such offers
fine sea views.
This
relatively young garden has an abundance of rhododendrons, hydrangeas
and camellias. |

is open every day and is a garden for all seasons with colour
and scent throughout the year. |
