Join Head Gardener, Andrew Lawson, for a very special private tour of the gardens, after which you will have the rest of the day free to meander a myriad of winding paths through flowers of the King Protea and the handsome Lobster Claw, great blue spires of Echium, brilliant Furcraea, Strelitzia and shocking-pink drifts of Pelargonium. World renowned Tresco Abbey Garden is home to plants from every Mediterranean climate zone, flourishing just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Augustus Smith established Tresco Abbey Garden in the 19th century around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey. Today, the garden is a sanctuary for some 2,000 specimens from across the southern hemisphere and subtropics, from Brazil to New Zealand; Myanmar to South Africa. Please note the cafe is open from 10am and the garden closes at 4pm. Opens Wednesday 5th June, pre-booking essential.
Lose yourself in the mysterious world of The Lost Gardens where an exotic sub-tropical jungle, atmospheric Victorian pleasure grounds, an interactive wildlife project and the finest productive gardens in Britain all await your discovery. This year a limited number of tickets have been made available for a private tour of the Northern Gardens (Productive and Ornamental Gardens). Please arrive at 10am. Opens Thursday 20th June, pre-booking essential.
