About St Michael's Mount

The granite rock of the Mount, the castle looming overhead and the sea pounding the shores are the features which define and direct this garden. For many of our visitors, it is astonishing that a garden exists here, but despite the gales and salty winds, the Gulf Stream ameliorates the climate so that frosts are a rarity and the rock acts as a giant radiator – absorbing heat by day and releasing it at night creating a micro climate in which all sorts of unlikely plants flourish. Puya, aloe and agave rear out of the bedrock, succulents form hot spots of surprise, and rosemary, coronilla and lavender provide binding threads through the East Terraces and the West and the Walled Gardens hold their own surprises.
