Seasonal highlights in Eden's gardens

Here's what you can spot throughout the seasons:

Spring

• Daffodils, a traditional Cornish crop, dominate displays in March.
• Crocuses and spring flowering shrubs burst into colour.
• A ribbon of grape hyacinths traces a blue path on the grass roof between the Biomes.
• From April there is a finale of English wild flowers including bluebells, campions and violets.

Summer

• Herbaceous borders beside The Core building look their best in early summer.
• Wild flowers, roses, dahlias, sweet peas and day lilies take off from mid-June.
• Swathes of lavender begin to flower in mid-July.
• In August wild flowers lead you down the Zig Zag Path to the spectacular white borders lining the Grand Staircase.

Autumn

• It's harvest time across the site, with displays of fruit and vegetables.
• Check our events calendar for seasonal demonstrations like apple pressing.
• Look out for Halloween-themed children's activities in our arena.
• There's always something in flower in our two giant greenhouses, the Biomes.

Winter

• Anemones provide a splash of welcome colour.
• Hanging baskets drip with winter vegetables.
• As dusk falls, the gardens transform into a sparkling winter wonderland, our trees laden with twinkling lights.
• We open late for magical evenings, complete with local choir and band performances.
