I was there a couple of weeks ago & visited Heligan, Eden & Trebah - most of
the other places didn't open until Easter. Trebah was top of my list-
beautiful valley with a beach at the end. Great tree ferns, enormous
magnolias, peonies & camellias all in bloom. They will mostly be over by
now but there was also a fantastic gunnera swamp which will be coming along
nicely with massed hydrangeas & rhododendrons to follow. It is near
Falmouth. Heligan was OK & Eden was heaving, but Trebah gets my vote.

Trebah is good at this time of year but doesn't have a great deal later on,
IMO. Anyone coming in this direction for a holiday would do themselves a
favour if they make sure to visit Rosemoor and take a helicopter day trip to
Tresco from Penzance.
