This Sunday Trebah Garden opens its gates to the people of Mawnan Smith for their annual celebration of spring.

The pupils of Mawnan School will perform country dancing in the morning at the house to |celebrate the coming of spring and the arrival of daffodils in the garden.

Garden visitors are more than welcome to attend and join in with the jollities. The garden offers free entry to members of the local community on |production of a utility bill with a Mawnan address.

Director Nigel Burnett said: “The Garden is bursting with spring colour, our Champion Magnolia is in full bloom, as are many of the camellias and |rhododendrons.

“This day is about inviting our neighbours into the garden before the main season and while the garden is in its full spring glory before the crowds arrive. I am sure many of our other visitors will be pleased to see this local tradition and hopefully take the opportunity to join us.”

The children’s country dancing display starts at 11am. Garden and visitor centre open from 10am. Normal garden entry rates apply to non-residents.
