About Trebarvah Woon
This is an acre of garden on a steep granite hillside open to farmland on the southwest. The land falls to the upper reaches of the Helford stream which forms its entire lower boundary and there is a small wood on the northern side. The garden has been restored and significantly developed over the last twelve years and the poor acid soil much improved with the addition of compost made at several levels of the sloping site. The addition of walls and steps made with abundant granite separate the terracing and the planting creates separate areas. There is an upper vegetable garden with raised beds, a small sloping orchard and a level enclosed cottage garden outside the conservatory planted around a small lawn. Azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias enjoy the acid soil and there are camassia in the apron of wild meadow below the swimming pool terrace. The wood is a damp area with a tiny stream falling from a spring with stone surround and steps.. It is ash and beech with a large copper beech at its lower end, two large tree ferns and candelabra primulas. The main stream winds along the bottom of the garden, is partly cultivated and partly wild with woodland beyond.
