Discovering
the Lost Gardens of Heligan
[PG10W46] Michael Spillane
The story of Heligan Gardens recounts the fascinating tale of a quintessential
Victorian garden in Cornwall, England. Without fuss or fanfare, it quietly
went to sleep for more than 70 years, to be awakened recently by two men
who literally had to machette their way through an impenetrable undergrowth.
The discovery of giant vines, derelict buildings, majestic palm fronds,
giant bamboo, rhododendrons, and exotic tree ferns started what was to
become the largest and most exciting garden restoration project in Europe.
Thursday, March 4, 7 to 9 p.m.
