	Lost Gardens of Heligan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK.
		The gardens now boast a fabulous collection of aged and colossal rhododendrons and camellias, a series of lakes fed by a ram pump over a century in age, highly productive flower and vegetable gardens, an Italian garden, and a stunning wild area filled with primaeval-looking sub-tropical tree ferns called "The Jungle".
		The style of the gardens is typical of the nineteenth century Gardenesque style, with areas of different character and in different design styles.

		We’ve visited the Shaw’s Garden dome many times and found it to be especially interesting in winter, when most of the outdoors plants are dormant or dead.
		Most of them died on the fields of Flanders, and thus the gardens had no one to tend them, so they were 'forgotten' and are still slowly being reclaimed, which is why they are not as impressive as many other gardens.
		The important thing about the gardens is that they stand as a time capsule, as they were never touched by modern hands, and the buildings and original Victorian planning remains extant, with much still to be unearthed.

		Tim Smits, who wrote The Lost Gardens of Heligan, was one of the key players involved in its rescue.
		Heligan was originally the estate of the Tremayne family.
		In time everyone moved away, the house was converted to apartments, the grounds fell to various forms of benign neglect and after a hurricane struck Cornwall in 1990, it seemed as if the gardens were to be lost forever in a mass of overgrown and overrun wild plants and trees.

		The gardens have been meticulously recreated to model the gardens left to decay in 1914, when the majority of the staff who went to war died at battle in Flanders.

		These gardens are no longer lost, no longer the private joy of the Tremayne family but an open and beautiful exhibition of landscape architecture and history.
