Diaspora Gardens starting to bloom
Planting is well under way in the five Diaspora Gardens. Each garden which is approximately half the size of a football pitch represents an area of the world where the Cornish emigrated. The 5 gardens signify North America, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand where visitors can explore plants, flowers and trees that are native to those areas.
