Tremenheere Gardens

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting my new British Cactus and Succulent Society friends and look forward to seeing them all again at the next meeting .
  This was a fabulous trip and I took lots of photos , this being the one that I felt caught the moody atmosphere of the place  ,  if you want more then you,ll just have to go see it for your self , heres the link for times of opening etc .

So here we all are , at Tremenheere, being shown around by Neil Armstrong  , owner and designer of this botanical garden .
  How wonderful to have this fine collection  of rare and exotic plants and trees on our doorstep . A beautiful and natural valley location with gentle paths and walkways  , over and around enchanting pools , streams and waterfalls . Boulders ,  mossy fallen trees , bromliads , graceful ferns , and Gunneras give way to rocky banks with Agaves , grasses , succulents and cacti . Then more  , musas and bamboos , restios and puyas , palms and tree ferns with yet , and please note ,  even more variety than one usually sees .
 Being a little hard of hearing , I would,ve liked to see some plant labels .... but this is a garden that you simply MUST go and see , and I will have to go back and spend more time taking it all in .
 There are also some very special works of Art to explore and experience .

Tremenheere Gardens

Here are some of my cactus collection inside my 8ft by 10ft greenhouse . I lost a few precious plants this winter since I can no longer afford to run the heater in there. Everything else that survived , looked dreadful and only now  , getting back into good health . Very depressing indeed ....SO ... I decided to join the Cactus Society again to get back some enthusiasm and inspiration !
 This evening the Cornwall branch are visiting Tremenheere Gardens in Penzance 7pm (Friday August 3rd )  My first meeting , kind of jumping in at the deep end . I am very excited to be meeting everyone and promise to be on my best behaviour : )
 Macintosh and Wellington boots at the ready ... will it still be daylight ? .... bring torch  : )
