'UP THE GARDEN PATH' by Pam Thompson

21 April 2010

Busman's Holiday?


The gardeners have been sneaking off again!  This time - visiting gardens in Cornwall and checking out bigger and much grander garden projects!  The pool and water feature above is being constructed at Tremayne http://www.wolseylodges.com/lodges/2990  and has been designed by Anthony who has the advantage of being a civil engineer.

The house beneath is Tregoose  http://www.tregoose.co.uk/garden.htm boasts a beautiful natural woodland garden with Triliums and Erythroniums all in flower beneath the trees.






Other gardens visited were (our favourite) Trewithen: http://www.trewithengardens.co.uk/home
Glendurgan: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-glendurgangarden
Trelissick and of course Caerhays: http://www.caerhays.co.uk/




Having had a brilliantly sunny 4 days wandering Cornwall's most beautiful gardens at the best possible time of year it's back home to mowing lawns, pricking out seedlings and potting on in the greenhouse!
