Tresco Abbey Gardens
'Tresco Abbey Gardens' are located on the island of
Tresco in the
Isles of Scilly. The gardens were established by the nineteenth-century proprietor of the island,
Augustus Smith. Because of the mild winter climate, the long hours of summer sunshine, and the high walls and hedges around the garden protecting it from the Atlantic winds, the garden is home to exotic plants from all over the world: the
Mediterranean,
South America,
South Africa and
Australasia.
