I have enjoyed your visits of Cornish and Devon gardens.

And I would never have guessed that there are parts of England where bamboo and palms thrive! And finally, thank you for your own memorial to the American men who died in Europe.

They are of course after what they can get from you especially when working in the garden. They sit nearby looking for fat worms that might be dug up.<br />We do not have sub-tropical gardens just in Cornwall, there are several down the West coast of Scotland and also in Southern Ireland. Amazingly it is all to do with the gulf stream that flows down the West side of the country.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-76892235361198709952014-04-03T22:33:44.306+01:002014-04-03T22:33:44.306+01:00You are right, the illustrative painting of the Am...You are right, the illustrative painting of the Americans embarking at Trebah beach does remind us of how fortunate we are today.<br />I am pleased that this post reminded you of your own trip to the garden so many years ago.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-89308186900692099572014-04-03T21:35:38.140+01:002014-04-03T21:35:38.140+01:00I went there once, years ago, and your lovely and ...I went there once, years ago, and your lovely and interesting post brought it back to me.

It's time to go back. I love the tree fern forest and the gunnera en masse. Watch out for your black bamboo, after a number of years establishing in our last garden it started to lift the paving stones nearest to it. The strength of those mature culms is amazing. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-18382483350331212712014-04-03T13:47:56.688+01:002014-04-03T13:47:56.688+01:00What a beautiful garden, thanks so much for these ...What a beautiful garden, thanks so much for these wonderful images.
