The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall is one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. Originally, the gardens were part of the estate owned by the Tremayne family. After the first world war the gardens fell into a state of neglect until Tim Smit (also responsible for the Eden Project) and a group of fellow enthusiasts decided to restore the garden to its former glory.
