Next on the garden tour was Trebah. This is my favourite Cornish garden

Starting at the top with the view down to the beach.

The tree ferns at the edge of the lawn are doing well

Walking down into the valley, in the bamboo grove

Into the marsh and pond section, the wild life is doing well.

the gunnera are massive really need someone standing under then to get the size.

The hydrangers were in flower, I am not normally a fan. but there was a good range of colours

At the beach, as you can see it was not the nicest day, but the rain did hold off until after we left.

Back at the tree ferns, lots of doubles and triples in there.

Then at the top the water garden. I like the heron, but really not sure about the neon fish

Finally the bank above the lawn. A really good lush succulent planting.

Not feasible at all now then - I get chronic sea sickness!

Dose yourself up with pills and go, if you can afford it spend the night on Tresco and go around the garden after you feel good. you wont regret it its a great experiance :)

You can still fly to the main island, just plane not helicopter. Then it is only a short ferry ride. As Charlie said staying over night is the simplest idea.
