The large Magnolia trees in Cornish Gardens naturally enough hog the limelight at this time of the year. They are a magnificent sight and a wonder of the tree world when planted en masse in the sheltered woodlands of the south west. There are a couple here at Tregrehan that are looking as fine as anything else in the garden today; Magnolia maudiae ‘Golden Temple’ and Magnolia sprengeri. There are plenty of buds yet to perform on both plants which will guarantee a good show when the garden opens for 2026 this Sunday. All details on the days and dates open and other helpful info is on The Visit section of the website.
There are one or two areas in the garden where extra care is needed as it is still very wet underfoot especially in the valley. A few large fallen trees from the winter storms are still evident on the ground, these will be moved as soon as conditions allow for heavy machinery to gain access. Please respect the fallen timber, stay well clear and use the alternative paths which will be obvious. We welcome and look forward to seeing many people enjoying this incredible Spring floral display over the next few months.
