TREWITHENGARDENS

Trewithen means 'house of the trees' and the name truly describes this fine early Georgian house in its splendid setting of wood and parkland. Country Life  described the house as 'one of the outstanding West Country houses of the 18th century' and Penelope Hobhouse has described the garden as 'perhaps the most  beautiful woodland garden in England'

TRESCO ABBEY GARDENS
in the Isles of Scilly
One of the world's most  interesting botanical experiments
Augustus Smith created Tresco Abbey Gardens in 1834  around the remains of the 12th Century St Nicholas Priory. They are one of the most remarkable sub-tropical gardens in the world. Here is contained a unique  collection of plants, many of which are too tender for outdoor cultivation on the British mainland. Tresco Abbey Gardens flourish in the warm Gulf Stream climate and are regarded by botanists as one of the most interesting and varied botanical experiments in the world
