Spring is just around the corner. - a photo on Flickriver

            Cotehele’s garden is relatively young in historical terms. There is a suggestion that there may have been a Medieval or Tudor terraced garden to the north of the house. 

Early paintings suggest that the land immediately surrounding the house was put to agricultural use with cattle grazing close by. It was not until Lady Countess Caroline moved to Cotehele in 1862  that the garden began to slowly develop. The lily pond in the upper garden is thought to have been dug as late as the early 20th century.

Throughout the two world wars, the gardens fell into a state of neglect. Throughout the 1950s large areas were cleared and, following a plan introduced by gardens adviser Graham Stuart Thomas in the 1960s, the gardens were slowly restored. Since this time the garden has continued to develop, vary and evolve each year.
