“Journalists visit the Jungle”
A short illustrated article featured in the Western Morning News this week has been taken up by most of the National Newspapers, BBC television and radio.
On Thursday 27 November, Trebah was buzzing with activity as the media reported details of the recently discovered vista across the valley to a jungle area in the garden planted primarily with various species of palms.
A view of the garden previously unseen was revealed during recent routine maintenance works.
When Darren Dickey, the Head Gardener, organised clearance of a large area of undergrowth, he and his team stumbled across this wonderful new vista featuring this area of planting from a whole new perspective.
For all those who wish to visit and see this and the many other iconic views and plants at Trebah, the garden is open every day from 10.30am to dusk at this time of the year.
