The head gardener at a South East Cornwall stately home believes visitors can expect one of their best-ever Spring floral displays.

Thanks to the mild Winter, there appear to be huge numbers of magnolia blooms waiting to burst into flower at Antony Woodland Garden, near Torpoint.

Head Gardener Valerie Anderson said a new walk will provide better access to the Higher West Down area of the garden, where new magnolias have been planted amongst the bluebells and primroses.

Valerie said: ’It does look as though this year is going to be really special.’
