Rechts am Wasser sind wieder die Riesenrhubarb zu sehen, hier nicht ganz so hoch.
Trebah ist eine Gartenanlage mit subtropischem Bewuchs in Cornwall. Der Park liegt an der Mündung des Helford River etwa acht Kilometer südwestlich der Stadt Falmouth. Seine Fläche beträgt etwa 11 Hektar (26 Acres). Der kornische Name des Gartens bedeutet Das Haus an der Bucht.
Trebah ist wie das unmittelbar benachbarte Glendurgan ein kornischer Schluchtgarten, d.h. er liegt zwischen steilen Hügeln in einem schmalen Einschnitt, der sich bis zum Ufer des Helford River zieht. Die Schlucht wird von einem kleinen Wasserlauf durchflossen, der kurz vor dem Strand einen Teich bildet. Entlang der Schluchtwände ziehen sich die Parkwege dahin, zwischen denen eine üppige Vegetation wuchert. Dank des durch den Golfstrom milden Klimas ist es möglich, in Trebah neben heimischen Arten eine Anzahl subtropischer Gewächse ganzjährig im Freiland zu kultivieren. So finden sich in Trebah u.a. Bambus, Yuccas, Gunneras, Agaven und Baumfarn und - für das südliche Cornwall eher selbstverständlich - Rhododendron. Im Mai und Juni leuchtet Trebah in allen Farben der Rhododendrenblüten.
Trebah (Cornish: Tre Worabo, meaning Gorabo's farm) is a 26-acre (110,000 m2) sub-tropical garden situated in Cornwall, England, UK, near Glendurgan Garden and above the Helford River.
Part of the parish of Mawnan, the gardens are set within an area of the same name, which includes the small settlements of Trebah Wartha and Trebah Woolas (both are of medieval origin).
History of Trebah
In 1831 Trebah was acquired by the Fox family who built Glendurgan Garden. Trebah was first laid out as a pleasure garden by Charles Fox, a Quaker polymath of enormous creative energy who paid meticulous attention to the exact positioning of every tree. His son-in-law, Edmund Backhouse, M.P. for Darlington, took the work further.
In 1907 Trebah was bought by Charles Hawkins Hext and inherited on his death in 1917 by his wife, Alice, who died in 1939. From 1939 to 1981 the garden fell into decline, since the substantial Trebah Estate was sold off in small packages, of which the house and garden was one.
Second World War and after
During the Second World War, Trebah was used for military purposes and the assault on Omaha Beach in Normandy was launched from Polgwidden Beach, at the foot of Trebah Garden.
Inscription on Memorial Slab at the foot of Trebah Garden: "To the officers and men of the U.S. 29th Infantry Division, who embarked from Trebah in June 1944 for the D-Day assault on Omaha Beach. We will remember them."
One of the subsequent owners was Donald Healey, the motor car designer, who removed some of the concrete military structures and provided a boathouse on the beach.
In 1981, on their 64th birthday, Tony and Eira Hibbert bought Trebah as their retirement home. They were persuaded to give up the first three years of retirement to restore the garden.
Indeed, when Major Hibbert agreed to three years, little did he know it would become a quarter century. The decision, he eventually wrote, "has given us the happiest twenty-four years of our lives and had we not taken up the challenge we'd have been dead long ago of gin poisoning and boredom."
The garden was opened to the public in 1987 and by 1989 visitor numbers had reached 36,000. The Hibbert family then gave the house, garden and cottages to the Trebah Garden Trust, a registered charity, to ensure that the garden could be preserved for future generations.
In 2000 visitor numbers had exceeded 105,000 and a £1.94 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Objective One allowed Trebah to build the new 'Hibbert Centre', to rebuild Alice Hext's seat, restore the nursery and carry out major landscaping and garden improvements. Q:Wikipedia

Erika+Manfred club has replied to Little Nightwitch clubAllerdings ist ein solcher "Schluchtgarten" (er liegt an einem Bach/Fluß und hat steile Hänge) auch schwierig zu laufen. Zumindest, wenn man nicht so gut zu Fuß ist. Wir waren zweimal dort und es war wirklich wunderschön.
Schönes Wochenende für Euch.
