#8965, Alverne Robert BOLITHO

Alverne is a cousin of Mary Williams from whom he inherited the Trewidden Garden near Buryas Bridge when she died in 1977.  He has continued to develop the garden with help from head gardener Richard Morton and his small team.  They aim to keep the garden a place of peace and beauty, of constant surprise and delight.  It is under Alverne's stewardship that the garden was opened to the public so others can also enjoy it.

Trewidden was bought and the garden created by Edward Bolitho around 1830.  The magnificent gardens were further developed by his son T B Bolitho followed by his granddaughter Mrs Mary Williams.
