Explore untold stories from each garden

Behind The Gardens

 

Behind The Gardens is a collection of stories written to celebrate the individuality and horticultural identity of the 14 Great Gardens of Cornwall.

With a nod to history, and the big personalities who shaped the evolution of each garden, we also shine a spotlight on the gardens as they bloom today, and the amazing teams who strive to keep our Cornish gardens amongst the best in the country.

Storytelling is at the heart of this endeavour, as we explore the unique heritage and culture of each garden, and share it with you.

Read on, and let us take you on a journey Behind The Gardens…
