Final spring Garden Open Day - 18th May
Soak in the seasonal blooms one last time while supporting the Saltash Community Kitchen at our final Garden Open Day! Join us on Sunday 18th May, 11am-5pm to wander through the gardens spotting the blooms of azaleas, magnolias and irises, then head to the riverside where BBC One's Beyond Paradise is filmed. And don't forget to head into the Castle café from 12noon - 4pm for tasty treats and refreshments!
The talented photographer, Claire Tregaskis, will be here on the day to capture your special moments with loved ones. To book your family photoshoot session, please email claire@clairetregaskis.co.uk.
Garden entry is £7.50 per person and will go towards the community kitchen's goal to reduce food wastage, and feed those in our community who need it most. Under 16's and dogs (on short leads) go free.
Entering May with a spring in our step
As the season reaches its peak, the Pentillie gardens continue to thrive. The wisteria has made its grand entrance, creating the most stunning backdrops and filling the air with its sweet familiar scent! In the woodlands, the oak, ash, and sycamore trees are all coming into leaf, while the American Gardens have transformed with carpets of bluebells.
Our gardeners are busy preparing for summer, but they also let nature do its thing ~ leaving 'wild areas' for bees, butterflies, and blooms. By mid-May (in time for our final Garden Open Day), you will be able to spot oxeye daisies, red campions and cow parsley dancing against the breeze in the longer grass!
If you fancy more wanders though our 55 acres of historic woodland gardens, why not become a Friend of Pentillie for exclusive year-round garden access, pool access from May - September and special discounts to events such as outdoor theatres!
