An overview of the garden

Unlike many Cornish gardens, Pine Lodge is an "all year round" garden including a three acre Winter Garden first planted in 2006 and with ongoing development. Herbaceous borders, a spring garden with over 80 Magnolias and 250 Camellias, thousands of snowdrops and bluebells, an authentic Japanese garden, an Arboretum and Pinetum, a Lake boasting a breeding pair of Black Swans and many breeds of ducks. Water features.

The National Collection of Grevilleas is held here. Seeds from plant hunting expeditions for the nursery of rare and unusual plants.

It's an easy garden to visit for the elderly with plenty of seats and a good tea room with home made cakes and Cornish cream teas.
