Lamorran House Garden

In many gardens, it’s the flowers that take centre stage but at Lamorran House Garden it’s undoubtedly the foliage that steals the show, (as well as the foliage frames). Thanks to its position in St Mawes at the very tip of Cornwall's beautiful Roseland peninsula, Lamorran House Garden is a subtropical paradise, where lush vegetation occasionally gives way to the glinting blue of the Porthcuel estuary and the sea beyond. As you follow winding gravel paths through thickets of sculptural ferns and statuesque palms, a range of influences come to the fore. From the serenity of the Japanese-inspired koi pond to the bold, geometric foliage of the Mediterranean plus a dash of English romance. With its secluded Venetian-style viewing points, enviable microclimate and photogenic temples, this British garden excels at transporting visitors to far-flung corners of the world.

Morrab Gardens

Morrab Gardens, Cornwall’s first public garden began welcoming guests back in 1889, and people have been drawn to this subtropical paradise at the heart of Penzance ever since. Though petite in size, that hasn’t stopped the owners amassing a generous collection of unusual plants – all with their own unique mythology, which the website helpfully delves into. From the sword-like Agave – known as the goddess of desire in Greek mythology to the haughty Hydrangea, which symbolised arrogance and frigidity in Medieval times. Other spellbinding species to look out for include the bushy Myrtle, blousy Handkerchief Tree and the perplexing Monkey Puzzle Tree. With the waves lapping in the distance, and a banquet of tropical foliage laid out before you, Morrab Gardens brings a welcome splash of the Mediterranean to these Cornish shores.
