Cotehele’s Traditional Christmas Flower Garland Returns

The annual flower garland, a tradition upheld for over 65 years, is scheduled for display once again at a National Trust property in Cornwall. The team at Cotehele, located in Calstock, dedicates 11 months to the planning and cultivation necessary for the garland’s creation. This year, the 68th iteration of the garland will be housed in the Great Hall. David Bouch, Cotehele’s head gardener, has contributed to the creation of these garlands for two decades.
