About this experience
Absorb the history of beautiful St Erth – an inland garden that has been designed to tolerate both hot summers and below zero winters.
Learn about the rewards of planting heirloom vegetables and the increase in productivity of espaliered fruit trees. Let Julian draw you through the garden with tales of the people who have been stewards of this magical place and how they have left their mark on the landscape.
