Welcome to Pine Lodge Gardens !
Cornwall Tourism Awards 2008 !
We're very pleased to have won the Bronze Award for Small Visitor Attraction of the Year in the Cornwall Tourism Awards.
The presentation evening and dinner was held at the Headland Hotel, Newquay. Flame haired, comic genius Ruby Wax was the guest speaker for the award ceremony at the Headland Hotel, and sent the 300 attendees into fits of laughter with tales of her past visits to Cornwall.
Raymond (on the left) went to collect our award and appear with Ruby. It was a lovely evening and good to meet old friends again, but I'm not one for night-life these days!
Pine Lodge Gardens
Pine Lodge Gardens, being situated on the warm and sheltered south coast of St.Austell Bay, in Cornwall, provide excellent growing conditions for rare, unusual and tender plants. Many have been grown from seed from plant hunting expeditions all over the world to which Shirley has been contributing since 1985.
The collection at Pine Lodge Gardens now stands at well over 6,000 plants, all labelled, in over 30 acres of gardens, and it is being added to each year. Shirley is extremely interested and involved in cultivating as many rare plants as possible for added interst in the Gardens and for sale in the Nursery.
Planting in Pine Lodge Gardens has been very carefully planned to provide interest throughout the year. The Gardens are regarded as having several dimensions, not least of which is scent, and this becomes apparent during your walk around Pine Lodge Gardens.

Walk around the Gardens
You're free to wander around the gardens as you please. However, we've worked out a route around the gardens that includes all of the 'gardens within the Garden' so that you can enjoy the full range of gardens before having a Cornish Clotted Cream Tea at our Tearooms and re-visiting your favourite parts of the Garden again !
On this website, you can follow the route around the Garden by clicking on the links to the left-hand side. Click on the Garden Plan to see a larger version that you can print out.
The Nursery has a wide range of the rare and unusual plants included in the garden plantings. Be prepared to be tempted when you visit Pine Lodge Gardens. Unfortunately, at the moment, we're not able to supply plants by mail-order but we hope to introduce this service shortly.
