This will be such a good evening of conversation with music and no doubt irreverence with the irrepressible Sir Tim Smit. Do come if near Bristol on April 20th in @stgeorgesbris @HeliganGardens

If you are based in Cornwall and want to kick start your festive period look no further than the Lost Gardens of Heligan for a night garden light walk. Absolutely incredible experience.

@derriennebell @domdyer70 The Cornish Red rhododendron stood for around 150 years above the Top Pond until it was uprooted by Storm Darragh and the main trunk crashed into the water.

@DaveInPanama @gunsnrosesgirl3 It's on our Georgian Ride at The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Lowarnes is inspired by poetry from Simon Armitage’s Dwell collection and the photography of Andy Wilson, our Maintenance Manager and talented Wildlife Photographer.

A dramatic new 6-metre fox sculpture now leaps through our Georgian Ride woodland. Lowarnes, Cornish for vixen, is crafted from around 600 pieces of wood, gathered from a 150-year-old rhododendron tree that fell here at Heligan during Storm Darragh in December 2024.

This amazing sculpture was created by Sue and Pete Hill with Hal Silvester - Sue and Pete are also the artists behind the beloved Mud Maid and Giant’s Head, Lowarnes celebrates Heligan’s wild residents and continues our tradition of re-using natural materials from the estate.

We’re incredibly excited to announce the birth of two beaver kits – a huge milestone for our reintroduction project

A proud moment for us and partners at @beaverafanc , @WTWales, @BeaverTrust and @NaturalEngland and a hopeful sign for nature recovery nationwide.

Visit to Lost Gardens of Heligan today. Found my ideal greenhouse and sleeping beauty. Izzy made loads of new friends. I was last there about 30 years ago. Much had changed. #lostgardens #Heligan #gardens #cornwall
