Annual Charity Garden Open Weekend
Experience one of England's finest private botanical gardens

Whilst the Tregothnan garden is only open to visitors by appointment, we look forward to our annual charity garden open weekend. Taking place on the 14th and 15th of April 2012, this family event attracts thousands of visitors from throughout Cornwall, the UK and even further afield. Tea enthusiasts, keen gardeners and those who simply enjoy a nice long walk through the great outdoors are sure to enjoy a visit to Tregothnan, and with all proceeds benefitting a worthy charitable cause, the event really shouldn't be missed. Tickets are now on sale here.
Our 2011 charity garden opening benefitted The Cornwall Community Foundation and proved to be a fantastic success. Perhaps it was the unseasonable good weather which brought visitors out in their thousands, or perhaps it was the promise of a spectacular floral display. Our glorious collections of Camellias, Rhododendrons and Magnolias certainly didn't disappoint, and there was plenty of entertainment on offer from local dance groups as well as Atlantic FM. As always, the refreshments were an unmissable attraction, and at one point it looked as though the home-made Cornish pasties and cream teas might run out!
