"The whole place is a wonderland ..." The Times newspaper, 13th May 2000 Our 30-acre estate, in its mild climate of mid-Cornwall, comprises several linked gardens. We have over 6000 labelled plants, many of which are rare or unusual. In addition to rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias, so familiar in Cornish gardens, there are Mediterranean and southern-hemisphere plants grown for all-year-round interest. Holder of the National Collection of Grevilleas Shirley's planting schemes, renowned for their imaginative use of colour, ensure that you will enjoy the herbaceous borders, fernery, formal garden, woodland walk and shrubberies. Water Features Pine Lodge's water features include; a large wild life pond, an ornamental pond with cascades (stocked with koi carp), a lake with an island (home to black swans and many waterfowl), a newt pond and marsh gardens. Trees are also a speciality with an acer glade, a collection of 80 different conifers in a four-acre pinetum, and an arboretum. The creation of a Japanese garden has been taking up much of our time over the last two years or more. Many rare & unusual plants, all propagated at Pine Lodge, are sold in our Nursery.
