Gardens in South West England

South West England is home to many garden gems that range from the stately and formal to jungle like ravines with palm trees and 'subtropical' plants. Many of the subtropical plants in Devon and Cornwall were brought back as specimens from the Caribbean and the Americas over 300 years ago. Thanks to the gulf stream,  these specimens are still flourishing today.
