Cornwall's uniquely mild climate has made it home to a number of wonderful and diverse gardens. Basking in the warmth of the Gulf Stream Cornwall rarely experiences a frost allowing the growing and cultivation of some of the rarest and most exotic plants in the British Isles.

There is a tradition of great gardens in the Duchy dating back to the early 19th century and they stand as testimony to the creative minds that envisaged them.
