Bonsai Bonanza!
BONSAI IS BACK at Trebah The beautiful art of bonsai will be on display at Trebah over the weekend of the 18 and 19 May 2024.
Cornwall Bonsai Society members are excited to present their loved and treasured bonsai and accent plants. Throughout the weekend there will be various short demonstrations covering many aspects of the art of Bonsai, from where to start, how to care for your tree and how to keep it healthy.
The bonsai display is a free exhibition in the visitors centre during normal garden opening hours. Pop-up 30 minute talks on Saturday at 11am and Sunday at 2pm, covering various aspects of Bonsai.
If you've ever owned a bonsai or wish you had, and have questions on how to select one and how to care for it, then come along and find all the answers, our members would love to share their experiences and knowledge with anybody who has an interest in this beautiful art.
In the bonsai display we will also have a selection of Kokedama (Japanese moss ball plantings).
We will also be running two informal workshops on how to make your own Kokedama on Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 11am.
Many people have the misconception that "bonsai" are a specific breed of Japanese tree. In actual fact, the number of trees species that can be used is limitless.
From our native Hawthorns to Pines, Junipers, Elms, Oaks, Hornbeams, Maples, and then there are the flowering varieties such as Quince, Cherry, Plum and Azalea.
So Bonsai can be enjoyed by one and all, and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Local garden centres, trees and plants, and from your own garden can be transformed into beautiful bonsai.
If you have ever admired or wish to know more about bonsai then come and join us...it will be treeeemendous!

Military Day 2024
Join us for the 80th anniversary of D-Day
What is Military Day?
Military Day is an annual event held at Trebah to remember and commemorate the bravery of the men and women of the British Armed Forces who have given their lives on active service. The day is organised and coordinated by the Royal Cornwall Branch of the Parachute Regimental Association.
What is Trebah’s connection with the military?
Trebah has two very important links with the military and World War Two.
The first is with D-Day and the assault on Normandy. After months of preparation - during which the beach was concreted and the original boathouse was dynamited - on 1 June 1944, a regiment of 7,500 men of the 29th US Infantry Division, along with their tanks, guns and transport, embarked from Trebah Beach in ten 150-foot flat-bottomed LST landing craft. For five days they battled through enormous seas to the Isle of Wight and then on to the D-Day assault landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy, where they suffered grievous casualties.
The second is with Major Tony Hibbert MBE MC (1917-2014) who, with his wife Eira, bought the garden in 1981 and began a programme of work to restore the garden to its former glory and passed ownership of the house, garden and cottages to Trebah Garden trust in 1990.
He had a decorated military career during World War Two, including fighting at Arnhem and receiving the Military Cross in 1945.

The Sea Within Exhibition
Jon White is a contemporary seascape artist based in Falmouth. Having grown up in Cornwall he trained in the USA as a studio apprentice to international artist Makoto Fujimura before returning to Falmouth where he paints from his home studio. Jon says of his work…
“There is a slow and rhythmic way I approach my work that often leads me to quick and intuitive bursts that bring a painting into it’s fullness. These ‘burst's’ require a leaning into the intuitive over the rational. My hope is that my work provokes a sense of beauty, mystery and wonder to the viewer.”
The exhibition is free to view in our Visitor Centre
Beach Yoga with Ro
Join us for Beach Yoga every Wednesday morning with a unique class down at Polgwidden Cove. Enjoy a 1 hour and 15-minute session hosted in collaboration with Trebah Garden and Yoga Ro.

Trebah's sheltered and secluded beach at the bottom of the garden is the most idyllic place to practice.
Ro Doleman is an experienced teacher who has a practical approach, entwining the breath, body and mind. During the class expect to explore both the physical and esoteric aspects of the practice. There will be flowing movements, moments of stillness, breathing and always a long relaxation to finish the session. Ro is clear at communicating and the class will leave you feeling more harmonious, healthy and happy! Why not head to Trebah Kitchen for breakfast or stay for a coffee at the boathouse beach cafe? Or even join us for a wild swimming dip?
This class is suitable for all experience levels, lots of different options will be offered throughout. Some mats are available but if you have your own, please bring it along with you.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Presented by Troubadour Stageworks
Four young lovers, five amateur players and a warring fairy host descend on the same forest in one evening. What could possibly go wrong?
As the lines between reality and illusion begin to blur, no-one but the mischievous Puck knows what is true and what is magic...
Troubadour’s take on Shakespeare’s classic comedy will transport you from your local forest, field, hall or dell to a truly magical midsummer dream. It is a production both epic and intimate, designed to be enjoyed by all the family. It is packed with original songs and plenty of wonder.
Did you know? Midsummer is traditionally the night when the barrier between the fae and mortal world is most weak. In our production we lean into that otherworldly merger- in amongst the play of sprites, the magic, the music, the forest setting, what might happen when you become the plaything of immortals?
