Description of Garden

Designer: Sue Nathan

This is a magnificent 20-acre colour garden, including a sweeping hydrangea drive to the Georgian Manor (not open) with herbaceous walled garden, a potager with vegetables and picking flowers, three lakes in a valley planted with ornamental grasses, perennials and South African flowers. It is a "must-see" in Cornwall for its all season's colour.

History of Garden

Dating from the 1840's when the Manor and its grounds were considered a model estate, it lay dormant for 150 years until Mrs Nathan, with the help of numerous enthusiasts in the Cornish gardening fraternity, began a transformation in 1999 after purchasing the estate.
