About

In the heart of St Austell, discover Pinetum Gardens, a place of tranquillity, peace and remarkable garden scenery. This family-owned garden offers an intimate experience with a personal touch, rarely found in our busy world.

Lovingly created over the past four decades, this 30-acre garden is home to one of the largest plant collections in the county. Set within stunning parkland, ten individually themed garden rooms host an array of plants. We are also home to some of the county’s most spectacular champion trees.

This 30-acre estate comprises of several gardens within the one, forming the back-drop to a beautiful selection of plants and flowers, most of which are labelled. Wandering through the original part of the garden large trunks and branches shrubs give a feel of maturity and discovery as you happen across various object d’art.

In stark contrast you eventually break through to open park land, lake and mature oaks reminiscent of Capability Brown’s English landscape style. Then behind you lies the Japanese garden complete with authentic tea pavilion. The Gardens are home to several Champion Trees. A Champion Tree has to have been officially measured by the Tree Register and is declared a champion for either being the tallest of their type or for having the largest diameter.
