Through its Open Gardens scheme, Cornwall Wildlife Trust has six new gardens opening for the first time this year along with the regular favourites.

Bolts Quarry Farm is one of these new locations. It opens to the public on Sunday, June 5 from 2pm to 5pm. Dogs are welcomed on leads, and refreshments will be provided.

The development of the garden at Bolts Quarry Farm in Penvorder Lane, St. Breward, Bodmin, PL30 4NY, has been described as a very steep learning curve by its owners, and one that is still continuing. 

Over 18 years the gardens have evolved, and there is now a pond and bog garden, a quarry garden and a special wildlife area. A shrub area has been under planted with Pheasant Eye daffodils and there is a two-acre granite strewn hillside broadleaf plantation with a circular walk and granite spoil heap. A Mowhay rock garden is ablaze with flowers and shrubs and the front garden has borders planted with perennials.

This interesting garden is one of many throughout the county where special fundraising days are being held during 2016 for the Trust.
