visited this garden while on holiday and it was lovely to walk around and see the different plants, trees etc. Lovely to look at the fish in the pond. Lots of plants in nursery to sell but i found them to be overpriced. If a keen gardener you would love it. Good admission price.

It is an interesting garden with mature acers and bamboo and very tranquil but the planting is quite limited and my partner lost interest because of this.

We went to this place on our last day in Newquay and we were the only people there so had plenty of time to take it all it. There was lots of interesting plants and small wooden building inside. I think due to the poor and varied weather no all the trees/plants had blossomed but still for the low priced... More

What an interesting place. Although we went before the leaves were out so we didn't get to see the Japanese maples in all their glory, nevertheless it was a good experience. I loved the nooks and crannies, the tranquillity, all the mosses and bamboo. The shop had a lot of things to buy and the lady was very helpfull and... More

Took the bus to this hidden away gem. Shop is really interesting with many oriental products. Even in winter, enjoyed landscaping and bonsai collection A hot drink would have been a welcome addition on a freezing cold day!

This is a small, pretty, Japanese garden. Nice to visit when the weather is warm & dry. They have lots of Bonsais to see & to buy. It is set in the little village of St. Mawgan, a few miles from Newquay.
