Why has trevarno gardens closed

The National Museum of Gardening at Trevarno is a quite enjoyable set of themed displays, boasting perhaps the largest collection of historic gardening tools and implements anywhere in Britain.

Among the displays is a huge collection of enamel garden signs, possibly the most extensive such exhibit n the world. There are tools dating to the 17th century, all the way up to modern lawnmowers, and historic seed catalogues. Children and quite a few adults will love the Colin Gregory Vintage Toy Collection, which features playthings through time. A unique feature of Trevarno is the Soap Collection; a nostalgic journey through the past, looking at soap and skincare products over the past centuries.

The Soap Collection is tied to the Trevarno Soap and Skincare Workshops, where visitors can purchase hand-made fragrant soaps. Our family, with children aged 6 and 12, really enjoyed visiting Trevarno.

Our children enjoyed feeding the peacocks, who were very tame and willing to come close with the lure of a tasty treat to nibble.

Also, the winding paths up and down the bank gardens to the lake provided interesting opportunities to play explorer for the children. We had a lovely time, and would definitely go back again.
