Darren’s Diary
Our Head Gardener’s monthly vlog
Started during lockdown as a way to keep our visitors and members in touch with the garden, Darren’s Diary is Trebah’s regular video log presented by our Head Gardener Darren Dickey.
Having worked at Trebah for over 30 years no one knows the garden better, so join Darren as he gives a (nearly) month by month guide to what’s in flower and what’s happening in the garden, along with some invaluable garden tips along the way.
