THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM in the SPRING a Six Day Tour to Enjoy the Cream of Cornish Gardens and the Music of London Festival Opera 24Th to 29Th April 2022 St Mawes
THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING A six day tour to enjoy the cream of Cornish Gardens and the Music of London Festival Opera 24th to 29th April 2022 St Mawes here better to enjoy the arrival of spring than in Cornwall. The county has more than its fair share of marvellous gardens, in part thanks to the warmth CORNWALL W St Austell brought to its shores by the Gulf Stream. From our central base, the stylish and The Lost Gardens Caerhays Estate of Heligan unique Tresanton Hotel in the lovely small port of St Mawes, we will explore Lamorran Gardens St Just in Roseland St Mawes some of the finest and most beautiful gardens, and always close by will be the Glendurgan Estate sea, providing the most dramatic of backdrops to the botanical wonders. For us one of the most important rules in organising a botanical tour is that it should not be rushed. So, apart from a guided tour of the gardens there will also be free time to explore individually, take in the vistas and sit and wonder at what nature and man have created. Nowhere, is this more important than at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The extensive work carried out here over the last twenty years is truly phenomenal and cannot be appreciated in a fleeting visit. Likewise, the extensive ravine and cliffside gardens of Glendurgan need time to appreciate as you make your way down to the sea. A highlight for many will be our day at Caerhays Castle and Garden. Designated by Kew as being a garden of outstanding importance and covering some 120 acres, the unique microclimate here at this private garden has produced something rather unique. -

Page 1 of 19 the Origins of Camellia X Williamsii at Caerhays the History
The Origins of Camellia x williamsii at Caerhays The history of the camellia in UK horticulture is a rather peculiar story. Camellias enjoyed rising popularity in the 1840s but, largely, only in the grandest country houses with large conservatories as at Chatsworth, Chiswick and Sheffield Park. The perception was that camellias were delicate, tender, plants suitable only for growing under the protection of glass. This was very probably because early forms of Camellia japonica from Japan were being imported from much warmer Mediterranean climates in Spain, Portugal and Italy where, again, they were being grown in the courtyards and walled gardens of wealthy nobility and landowners. The situation in Cornwall in the latter half of the 19th Century was different. Ships’ captains operating out of Falmouth were commissioned to bring back new plants from overseas by Cornish landowners and industrialists. One of the earliest examples of a collection of Camellia japonica varieties can still be found today in decline and over maturity in the walled garden at Scorrier House near Redruth. Here they still grow up against sheltering high stone walls. Tregothnan Estate near Truro also has one of the very earliest collections of Camellia japonica dating from the 1820s. It would appear that the plants which you still see today in good order were actually moved (and cut back) to their current location in the arboretum in about 1923. So camellias were far from being unknown in English gardens, but they had not exactly become popular or widely grown. One has to remember that in its pure specie form Camellia japonica has small, often sparse, and fairly unexciting single red flowers. -

The Chicago Tribune, January 22, 2016 Garden Conservancy salutes 25th anniversary with gorgeous book of gardens A new book, 'Outstanding American Gardens,' celebrates the Garden Conservancy and its Open Days program: Check out some of the magnificent private gardens. Teresa Woodard, Chicago Tribune When garden writer Page Dickey opened her private New York garden and coaxed 110 others to do tthe same for the Garden Conservancy's first Open Days event — which allows visitors access to some of the finest private gardens across the country — little did she know that 20 years later she would be editing "Outstanding American Gardens" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), a lavish volume showcasing many favorites among the 3,000 participating gardens. The book celebrates the garden preservation group's 25th anniversary and its Open Days program. "The whole idea of sharing a garden is magical," says Dickey, who co-founded Open Days in 1995 with gardening friend Penelope Maynard. "Being a gardener myself and working very hard on my garden to make it beautiful, there's something thrilling about sharing it — especially with like-minded people," says Dickey, whose Duck Hill garden in North Salem, N.Y. (which she has since sold) is featured amoong the collection and includes design elements adopted from her own tours of notable American gardens. "I've been a visitor for many, many years, and there is rarely a garden where you don't learn something," says Dickey. "By going around and seeing other gardens, it broadens your knowledge and vision." Susan Burke garden in Nantucket, Mass. Burke adopted an idea from fellow master gardener George Schoellkopf to dig a “ha‐ha,” or trench, beneath the porch to not obstruct the view of Nantucket harbor. -
