The Lost Gardens of Heligan

The Lost Gardens of Heligan were created in the 19th c. by Victorians with a love for botany. Unfortunately due to the World Wars the gardens fell into decay. Only within the last twenty years have they been restored and they are brilliant and magical.

Can you make out the troll?

This was in the vegetable garden. If you look closely, its a pear tree that has been crucified.


This trip was completely inspiring. My new goal in life is to make oodles of money so I can buy land and have fantastic gardens like these. What could be nicer? I can't think of anything.
