Inspiration from Tresco Abbey Gardens takes you through the history and mythology of Tresco and the Isles of Scilly, followed by a virtual tour of the garden, looking at the range of Mediterranean and sub-tropical plants that thrive in the mild climate.
Benjamin Turner is a dedicated horticulturist with a passion for Mediterranean plants, thanks to inspiration gained whilst working at Tresco Abbey Gardens in the Isles of Scilly. This experience has led to extensive travel to see plants in habitat and in collections around the world, including South Africa, USA, North Africa and all over Europe. Career highlights include working at RHS Wisley Garden planting and maintaining the glasshouse displays and co-designing gold medal winning displays at the Chelsea Flower Show.
