About Roseland Parc

There have been gardens at Roseland Parc for over 200 years, since the old house on site, Penlee, was built as a manse for the nearby St. Cuby’s church. The gardens probably reached their horticultural peak in the second half of the 19th century when they were sold to John Simpson Tyerman, a Kew trained horticulturist & former director of the Botanic gardens in Liverpool. During his retirement in Cornwall he continued his horticultural endeavours, collecting ferns, breeding rhododendrons & laying out the gardens at Kimberley Park, in Falmouth. The gardens went through various private hands after his death & the house was eventually turned into a nursing home in the late 1980’s. In 2007 the adjoining fields were purchased & a retirement village built with a Palm Garden as its centrepiece. The derelict walled garden was developed in 2017, the same year that the current head gardener arrived and the subsequent 6 years have seen efforts to restore the historic gardens while bringing together the new & old gardens into a more coherent whole. Bright borders of perennials, exotic planting and shaded pathways under mature trees are a few of the summer highlights.
