The Lost Gardens of Heligan Part I

Our initial plan was to spend a day at the Eden Project but then we found some information on the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Having already moved to America when the gardens were first rediscovered, we'd missed all the excitement and news shows on the gardens. It was a fantastic place to explore and somewhere that I have become fascinated with to the point of buying books on the history and even having my first go at a Heligan embroidery project (haven't got very far since we got back to Austin though).

For information on the gardens and the history of the project start here: http://www.heligan.com
