The Walled Garden

In 1979 an ugly wing was demolished leaving the charming Victorian Conservatory standing. Using the stone from the dismantled building a walled garden was created. Planted in calm purples, pinks and blues with stately Thalicrums, old-fashioned roses, Campanulas, Geraniums and Asters creating colour harmonies from June to the end of September.

The Hot Garden

A firework display timed to explode in August with orange Crocosmias, yellow Heleniums, red Salvias, Lobelia and flamboyant Dahlias, all held together with a tapestry of sultry dark leaved foliage.

The "Vean" Garden

Attached to the main house is a smaller secondary property, Bosvigo Vean, which is Cornish for "Little Bosvigo House". We just call it "The Vean". Its small front garden is divided by cross paths and the four beds are planted almost identically in white, blue and gold. Shaped cones of golden privet stand sentinel in each bed.

High above the Vean Garden, concealed behind purple Prunus hedges is a small garden of pink and grey flowers and foliage. An elegant wooden Arbour seat is set at the centre, perfectly placed to catch the afternoon sun.

Azalea Dell

A short curving path leads up from the Monkey Puzzle tree towards the plant sales area. A collection of scented, deciduous Azaleas, graduating from pure white at the bottom through pale yellows to deep reds at the top are on either side of the path. The area is heavily underplanted with Pulmonarias, Camassias, Geraniums and Hostas.

Plant Sales

This is the home of our Nursery, Bosvigo Plants. All the plants sold can be seen growing in the Gardens. We sell rare, unusual and hard-to-find varieties of Herbaceous plants. Most of them are fully hardy in Great Britain and we will always advise on plants for difficult conditions. Please note we only sell to callers, we do not offer a Mail Order service.
