The Pat Kenny Show Highlights
In the hills above Mevagissey on the Cornish coast, where mist clings to the trees and time seems to linger in the hedgerows, there lies a garden that once disappeared from the world. Not just abandoned. Not merely overgrown. Lost.
Forgotten by its owners, swallowed by ivy, bramble, and silence. It was not only the plants that vanished, but the lives of the people who had shaped them—names unspoken, stories untold. Diarmuid Gavin tells us the story of the lost Gardens of Heligan.
All with thanks to Tirlán.
