Pine Lodge Gardens - The Start

The history of the land goes back to the 1800 when the land was mined for copper and tin. There is a wealth of old trees which have been a wonderful backcloth for the garden. Pine Lodge Garden was developed in 1976 by the present owners, Ray & Shirley Clemo, and now totals 30 acres, having been able to purchase more land over the years.
