EXCLUSIVE LAMORRAN GARDENS
THE SQUARE GALLERY The Square Gallery has a reputation for showing original art, lovingly collected and assembled. It celebrates the differences in each artist’s approach and there is an array of paintings, prints, ceramics, textiles, jewellery and artefacts that inspire, intrigue and provoke a response. The gallery embraces how artists develop as well as welcoming new exhibitors, enjoying their progress and success. Artists include Rosie Scott, Robin Leonard, Lynn Golden, Kirsten Jones, Jenny Buckingham, Trevor Price, Philip Lyons, Jane Winton, Lesley Holmes, Dan Cole, Vicki Gillow, Kieth Bunt, Sally Spens, Mark
Poprawski, Carol O’Toole and Jilly Ballantyne. From the smallest card to the largest painting, The Square Gallery likes to encourage the artists with confidence, enthusiasm and discernment. The result is a lively and exciting mix of work in a friendly space. Top left: ‘Trawlers‘ by Robin Leonard. Top right: ‘St. Anthony’s pines’, Diane Hadden. Bottom: ‘A field I know’ Vicki Gillow.

Small, but perfectly formed, Lamorran Gardens is tucked away in one of South Cornwall’s most idyllic spots, overlooking St Mawes to St Anthony’s Headland. Protected from the worst of Cornwall’s frostier months, Lamorran is a haven for plants and flowers of subtropical species to flourish. The gardens four acres are covered with trees, including over 200 palm trees originating from 40 different species. Of course, one of Lamorran’s most recognisable features is its picturesque Temple, a pavilion type structure overlooking the ocean, covered by a canopy of trees and plants. Due to the location of the gardens, access can only be reached through a series of small and variously located steps, making it unsuitable for those in wheelchairs or those with limited mobility. However, the top of the gardens offers a beautiful terrace where visitors can enjoy the views with a tea or coffee. The gardens are open twice a week from the beginning of April until the end of September on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10am to 5pm. www.lamorrangardens.co.uk
