Penjerrick Garden, often referred to as "Cornwall's true jungle garden", lies between Budock Water and Mawnan Smith, near Falmouth, United Kingdom. This peaceful , sub-tropical, spring-flowering garden has views of the sea and a considerable historical and botanical interest. Penjerrick Garden was created 200 years ago by Robert Were Fox F.R.S. and his children, Anna Maria, Barclay and Caroline (R. W. Fox's brother, Charles was responsible for the Garden at Trebah and his brother, Alfred, for the garden at Glendurgan). They planted the upper garden with specimens collected abroad including rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, azaleas, tree ferns and bamboos. The garden is also the home of the Penjerrick and Barclayi hybrid rhododendrons. There is also a brain coral thought to have been introduced to Penjerrick by Captain FitzRoy of the ''Beagle'', which was Charles Darwin's expedition ship. The lower part of Penjerrick is a dense valley garden reached by a wooden bridge. In this wild, jungle-like setting are four ponds and countless tree ferns that date back almost to the original planting of the garden. The tranquil garden (now owned by Rachel Morin) is at its best in April and May. == Images of Penjerrick == Image:Penjerrick_Garden_Dino2.jpg|Somewhere in the lower garden Image:Penjerrick_Garden_Camelia.jpg|A Camellia in full bloom Image:Penjerrick_Garden_Bluebells.jpg|Bluebells in April Image:Cornish_Garden_Gunnera_Tree_Fern.jpg|Gunnera in the shade of a tree fern 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penjerrick Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
