Bosvigo, Truro

Wendy Perry's painterly, gorgeous garden on the edge of Truro, shot in July when colours in the walled garden sing, all sky blues, smokey purples and vivid magentas. The Vean garden shines with white, blue and gold, decorative with clipped box and golden privet while bright sunny ivies clamber up the facade of the pretty house at the garden's heart. Cool greens dominate in the courtyard garden where spiral twists and spheres of box stand out boldly against a rock face bubbling with wall daisies, Erigeron karvinskianus. A richly detailed garden with lots of great plant combinations.
