Synopsis
Charles Fox tells the story of the garden started by his great-great grandfather, Alfred Fox, relating its development to that of the Fox gardens at Trebah, Penjerrick and Rosehill, and to other Cornish gardens including Heligan, Trewithen, Chyverton, Trelissick, Trengwainton and Carclew. He describes how succeeding generations of a Quaker family used opportunities in the shipping and travel world to introduce rare and exotic plants to their gardens, and how that tradition continues under the National Trust, to create what is today a unique repository for exotic plants, and a centre for the purposeful propagation of rare and tender species'.
