BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 Best Gardens of Cornwall By Tania Hopkinson From the Tamar right down to Land’s End, Cornwall is blessed with some of the UK’s finest gardens. It is remarkable just how many, both large and small, diverse and wonderful gardens there are in what is a relatively small area. In fact there is such a range of lovely gardens that it is not easy to categorically state which are the best. And what makes Cornwall such a horticultural haven? There are several reasons, not least it is a slim peninsula which benefits from the benign affects of the Gulf Stream. The wonderfully mild maritime climate allows an array of plants to be grown en plein air that can be found nowhere else in the UK.

Thomas Bolitho of Trewidden was probably the first to introduce the camellia, magnolia, and rhododendron. And it was his daughter Mary, also with gardening in her blood and married to another keen gardener Charles Williams of Caerhays, who brought to Trewidden many plants bred by the Williams family such as the renowned Camellia x williamsii hybrids. Ernest Wilson or Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson as he became known for his plant collecting forays into China, was responsible for discovering over 2,000 species, amongst 1,000 plants he introduced to Europe is the lovely and popular Lilium regale, the ‘Handkerchief St Michael’s Mount Tree’, the giant dogwood and magnolia wilsonii.

    Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan Local Evidence Report January 2018

    Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan Local Evidence Report January 2018 Introduction Neighbourhood planning policy and proposals need to be based on a proper understanding of the place they relate to, if it they are to be relevant, realistic and to address local issues effectively. It is important that our Neighbourhood Plan is based on robust information and analysis of the local area; this is called the evidence base. Unless policy is based on firm evidence and proper community engagement, then it is more likely to reflect the assumptions and prejudices of those writing it than to reflect the needs of the wider area and community. This Local Evidence Report presents a topic by topic picture in facts, local opinions and aspirations of what the Parish of Ludgvan is all about in 2017/18, so as to provide the ‘evidence’ on which to base the development of the Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan. We have used a variety of authoritative sources and recent survey material to put this Report together. To keep it relevant and accessible we have summarised information. Should the reader want more information or background we have provided links wherever possible to the source document. Inevitably we have not found all the information we sought. You are invited to contribute additional material to our evidence base. If you have any additional recent and relevant facts or can provide authoritative opinion about land use-related matters in Ludgvan Parish, please get in touch with the Parish Clerk at: [email protected] At the end of each topic section is a Key Messages box that includes messages discerned from evidence gathered and presented either in this report or the relevant Ludgvan Background Paper prepared by the NP Steering Group and available to view on the Ludgvan NP website1.

    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.

    246 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 52, 2002 The Role of the Veitch Nursery of Exeter in 19th Century Plant Introductions 247 Among interesting perennials are the luxuriant Myosotidium hortensia, the Chatham Island forget-me-not; blue poppies such as Meconopsis betonicifolia, M. grandis and the hybrid ‘Lingholm’; and many members of the Iridaceae such as Dietes, Diplarrhena, Libertia, Orthrosanthus, and Watsonia. The very distinctive Arisaema do well here, as do an increasing number of plants in the Convallaria- ceae, including Disporum, Polygonatum, Smilacina, Tricyrtis, and Uvularia. PLANTING CONDITIONS The windy conditions discourage the planting of large specimens, though the shallow soil in some places makes this physically impossible, while the severe infes- tation of honey fungus, Armillaria sp., precludes the direct transplanting of woody plants, which eventually fall victim to the fungus. Lifted rhododendrons are potted into very wide, shallow containers for a year or two before being surface planted, a method which has become the rule without cultivated beds, by simply placing the rootball on the soil and mounding up with the chosen medium. This seems to encourage establishment and may slow the invading Armillaria. Where rhododen- drons are planted on mossy rocks or stumps, particular care has to be taken during dry periods as the lack of mains water or any distribution system makes watering practically impossible and establishment unlikely.
