National Trust Podcast of the Week: June 1, 2020

June 2, 2020

From the National Trust archives

Memories of Glendurgan

In this mini episode we meet one of Glendurgan’s longest-serving volunteers. Sylvia describes her memories of this special place – from navigating the mind-boggling maze as a child, to sharing her love of the garden with visitors today.

The Tropical Plants of Glendurgan

In this episode we’re at Glendurgan Garden to discover its unusual microclimate, centuries-old history and fiendish maze.

Join us on a journey through this tropical Cornish paradise – where lush rolling valleys meet the sea, and exotic plants grow alongside native wildflowers. We get to know the Fox family, who laid down the plans for the garden back in the 1820s, and still live in the house today.
