The Lost Gardens of Heligan

[pjthompson]

This immense estate has beautiful gardens in a large variety of environments, as well as being an important wildlife sanctuary. The gardens became "lost" when the owners ceased to take interest and everything became an overgrown jungle. Now in public trust, the gardens have been lovingly restored and provide a nice day of enjoying the flora and fauna. Some of these environments are like stepping into another world. We took a ton of pictures that day. I've culled some, but there are still 25 in the latest upload. Click on either picture to get there.
