Spring is the perfect time for a garden lover to plan a garden tour around Penzance. West Cornwall has an eclectic group of gardens for every taste and springtime is a time to shake off the dark days of winter as nature fizzes and awakes.

A year in The Ednovean Farm Gardens
To spend a year in the Gardens of Ednovean Farm is to take a journey through the seasons. Each year it’ll be an infinitely changeable journey of course. However, ultimately that will be the reward in itself.
Winter
As the days shorten into winter now at Ednovean Farm, the changing season brings it’s own magic to the farm. the distant memories and ceremonies rise to the top of our memories and the little perks and treats of the season spring to mind.
The golden days and swirling mists of autumn
The golden days and swirling mists of the changing season still hold us enthralled this autumn. Yet, as October turns to November, every day can be so different. Yet now My thoughts turn towards Winter and the festive time ahead
Footsteps into Autumn
Take footsteps into Autumn with me this week and explore the mellow days, drifting leaves and clifftop picnics for salty adventures near the sea.
Ice creams and mermaids
This route wends its way through dizzying scenery, although the road occasionally narrowing to a single lane as it threads through farm yards! Finally you’ll find a mermaid!
The sigh of September
September is the month when the earth sighs with contentment for a job well done. September is a month when summer lingers on through the days, yet the closing dusk hints of the approaching autumn.
Porthleven to Mousehole – exploring Mounts Bay
From the solid harbour of Porthleven to the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole, the communities along the flanks of Mounts Bay give a glimpse of the less commercialized face of West Cornwall.
A visit to Penlee House
Our visit to Penlee House on a beautiful summers day when the Italianate house glowed in the sub tropical gardens offered a power packed exhibition of the Lamorna Colony artist followed by a perfect cream tea on the terrace
Mousehole to Lamorna and places in between!
A day dawned when the delicious ripple of spring was in the air and teased us from our winter hibernation. We walked under exquisite skies with the scent of the wildflowers drifting around us and the sound of the sea in our ears.
