TRESCO ABBEY GARDENS

The Garden:

flourishes on this small island only two miles long, nowhere else in the British Isles does such an exotic and exciting collection of plants grow in the open. Within its fourteen acres, palms shoot skywards; stately echiums resemble burning rockets. Agaves, aloes, proteas, bromeliads, acacias and countless plants from such places as South Africa, Australia, the Mediterranean, and Mexico which are normally grown under glass, flourish within the secure embrace of massive holm oak hedges, which protect the garden from salty gales.

From its early days Tresco has welcomed visitors; the effect is so stunning that even the non-gardener cannot fail to be impressed.
