Trewithen Gardens will be opening for the day to season ticket holders, and anyone interested in becoming one, to enjoy a preview of the gardens, buds and bulbs, before we open for the season on 1st March 2025.

This will be a celebration of Cornwall’s Spring Story: the moment when Cornish magnolias flower, and spring has arrived in England. When each of six Champion magnolia campbellii trees within six of the Great Gardens reach 50 blooms, then it is officially declared that spring has sprung.
At 11.30am, Head Gardener Gary Long will lead a walk to the champion magnolia tree, telling of the Spring Story and a group count of blooms. Last year, 16th February was the date that spring was declared, so we anticipate what should be very exciting timing.

The garden and Tea Shed, serving tea, coffee and cakes, will be open from 9am until 2pm. Please visit www.trewithengardens.co.uk if you would like to learn more about the garden's nature and rich history.

The first 20 people to have purchased their season tickets for 2025 will be each planting a tree in the gardens on this morning. This will be taking place between 9 until 11am, and other visitors to the gardens are very welcome to observe.
We look forward to warmly welcoming visitors to the gardens for this pre-season celebration of spring in Cornwall.
