Bosvigo Gardens summer visit

The Daisy duo had a lovely time on Wednesday, with a visit to the Annual Truro Garden Market on Lemon Quay, followed by a visit to the lovely Bosvigo Gardens.

Truro Garden Market had a marquee full of school children's mini gardens and artwork, stalls of lots of local nurseries, landscapers, and garden suppliers, bee keepers and Truro in Bloom stalls. There was lots to look at and plenty to buy!



Once we had escaped with minimal shopping we made our way to Bosvigo. I think we were the only people there so it was very easy to pretend it was all ours. The last time I was there was for the Hellebore Day, (see post 26 February 2013) when the woodland spring garden looked fabulous. This time the other parts of the garden were open, a series of outdoor rooms brimming with beautiful perennials, each on a fantastic scale.




The gardens were overflowing with hardy Geranium, Astrantia, Thelictrum, Roses, Clematis, Phlox and Alchemilla Mollis


This was a perfect spot to stop and sit, shaded by Banana Palms and surrounded by Pelargoniums


Then there was the gorgeous shady garden at the back of the house (not that shady at the moment)

 

...and even the woodland spring garden looked spectacular with fantastic Cornus and interesting Ferns.


And there was the most glorious climbing Nasturtium, romping it's way through a Yew hedge, it's small scarlet flowers zinging against the dark foliage and brightening a rather gloomy corner.


All in all a wonderful visit once again, and there looked to be lots to come over the next month, although parts of the garden were suffering a little in the heat. I shall be trooping visitors along to see it this summer, it's the perfect size for an hour or so visit, so you don't need to be garden obsessive to enjoy it. We definitely recommend it!
