An award-winning account of an award-winning restoration. 'Every bit as riveting as the garden itself' Noel Kingsbury - Country Life Set in a magical place, this is a romantic adventure story. We have spent the last five years thinking on our feet, eating on the hoof...and always with our hearts pounding in our chests. And yes, we have breathed new life back into the gardens, but every breath has made us feel more alive too. Anyone who has visited Heligan will understand. It is a story of teamwork and passion, of people with disparate lives coming together and sharing a common goal. It is a story which celebrates that which is best in us all, commitment, compassion and a love of life.
