In 1857 three brothers left Cornwall for Australia in search of gold. One of them, John Garland Treseder, took with him vegetable seeds, and started a market garden. Soon there were nurseries, and a shop in Sydney, and John Treseder designed parks and gardens in New South Wales and Victoria.

‘Once … I was sitting on a stile and seven swans flew over my head, inches away. I walked on and came across an entire family of foxes at play. For both the animal and the man there was no more beautiful place in which to be raised.

Initially inaccessible and swamped by overgrowth when the Lost Gardens were rediscovered in 1990, much of Heligan’s valuable woody plantstock was subsequently identified and protected during the course of clearance by Philip McMillan Browse, then Cornwall County Council Horticultural Advisor (and former Director of RHS Wisley).
Philip later became Heligan’s first Horticultural Director, and encouraged his team to research into the origins of the veteran specimens in their care. Some individuals are rare indeed – and vulnerable in their old age.

Heligan: Fruit, Flowers and Herbs celebrates the abundance of the award-winning productive gardens at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. With derelict structures restored to working order, the range of traditional crops now cultivated and harvested by hand is beginning to reflect the output of the gardens in their late Victorian heyday.
This book tells the stories of reconstruction behind increasingly well-known features – the beautiful apple arches in the Vegetable Garden, the unique pineapple pit in the Melon Yard and the historically significant Paxton House in the Flower Garden.
