Open Gardens Visit beautiful gardens, support Cornwall Hospice Care Title sponsor www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk/opengardens 40 years ago Enid Dalton-White MBE, one of the pioneers who ensured the vision of a hospice for Cornwall, invited visitors to the grounds of her home in Polruan to raise vital funds to build Mount Edgcumbe Hospice. She set a trend that continues today through our Open Gardens scheme, now in its 9th year. A long-standing supporter of the charity and the Open Gardens campaign is Cornish gardener, George Kestell; As I look out of the office window across my own garden, I see the range of Hellebores, Camellias and Snowdrops all set off by the dark purple of the Pittosporum. These winter flowers keep me going through the tough times. Lately everyone has been affected by the Coronavirus crisis, lockdown has been difficult for many, but these winter gems have been a source of delight. Unfortunately, charities like Cornwall Hospice Care are struggling, beds are under threat due to the closure of shops and limited fundraising opportunities. However, this Cornish healthcare charity is to me like these winter flowers, there to help us through the tough times. Having received support from the hospice I know everyone involved in this charity does an amazing amount of work to help both patients and their families in the hospices and through community support. Hopefully within the next couple of months some sort of ‘normality’ can resume, the weather will be warmer and all the lovely gardens in this guide will be bursting with colour and with friends and families enjoying their delights. Let us be the hope for Cornwall Hospice Care, let us be their winter flowers and help them through these tough times by supporting this wonderful campaign. Gardens also need much care and I must pay tribute to the owners who work tirelessly to open their gardens to the public. I am always amazed by the variety of garden styles, sizes and plants on display. I am also in wonder of the refreshments too! Over the years the Open Gardens scheme has raised many thousands of pounds and I hope this will continue for many more. I do hope that you are able to visit some of these treasured places of joy whilst knowing you are supporting such a worthy cause. Best wishes , George www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk/opengardens 2 1.

    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.

    SOUTH WEST Newquay Beach Newquay, facing the Atlantic Ocean on the North Cornwall Coast, is the largest resort in Cornwall. There are many different beaches to choose from including: Towan Beach, Fistral Beach, Lusty Glaze, Holywell Bay and Crantock. Reachable by a stiff walk from the village of West Pentire, is Porth Joke, also known as Polly Joke, a delightful suntrap of a beach, surrounded by low cliffs, some with sea caves, unspoilt and popular with families. A stream runs down the valley, and open fields and low dunes lead right onto the head of the beach. The beach is popular with body boarders. Often cattle from the nearby Kelseys, an ancient area of springy turfed grassland, rich in wildflowers, can be found drinking from the stream. Beyond the headland is Holywell Bay arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, backed by sand dunes framed by the Gull Rocks off shore. Reachable by a 15 minute walk from the Car Park. It is a nice walk west along the Coast to Penhale Point, with superb views across Perran Bay, with Perranporth in the middle distance.
