Visit websiteWe enjoyed a 3 hour visit whilst on a UK cruise and it didnt disappoint. Beautiful gardens and very sheltered. Fantastic views from the top terrace. Plants very unusual and vibrant. Statues gorgeous especially Tresco Children snd the museum very interesting too. Nice cafe
The gardens were amazing we saw red squirrels so many different flowers well worth a visit lovely cafe food was lovely
I cannot express just how amazing these gardens are , such diversity of plants and planting . Wonderfully stocked borders with the backdrop of the grand house and far reaching views of the islands that surround it . The flowers were so beautiful and many many species of plants brought in from around the world , all growing together with amazing contrast in vegetation, with the most special red squirrel residents living there also . People really should call in to the area showcasing the Figureheads from ships lost on and around the Islands rocks . The cafe has delicious cakes and wonderful drinks . The shop has a such lovely and varied items for sale , such choice . Not forgetting an amazing choice in plants available for sale for visitors to buy and take home . Wonderful staff work there who have such knowledge of the the gardens and are there to help everyone .
Just the most incredible place to visit.... We went twice. So calming,. So beautiful a great cafe and incredible mature planting.. I feel so lucky to be able to visit it
A brilliant place to visit. Vast well laid out gardens with fantastic range of Mediterranean plants. We were lucky with the weather which started cloudy and finished in full sun.
