On Thursday, the 20th of June members of Crowlas and Ludgvan WI visited the lovely gardens of Trevilley near Sennen .The gardens are owned by the novelist and screenwriter Patrick Gale and his partner farmer and sculpture Aidan Hicks.The farm has been owned by the Hicks family for some generations.
The garden we see today was once the unsheltered concrete farmyard.Patrick and Aidan began developing the site in 1999 into a series of garden rooms connected by lovely cobbled paths and arches.The plants have to be grown in raised beds,many of which were once items used on the farm,such as a tractor tyre or water trough.There are many lovely areas at Trevilley where you can sit and quietly enjoy the garden and it’s sculptures.
