Head Gardener László Almási’s approach is to create a space where the art of gardening goes beyond simply combining complementary colours, heights and textures. Instead, he seeks to allow spontaneity to flourish within an orderly framework.

Creating an aesthetically natural-looking garden that sits effortlessly within its surroundings, while working in harmony with the forces of nature, is no easy task.

Recognising and highlighting beauty in an ever-changing garden requires experience, skill, knowledge and an exceptional eye for detail — from the smallest creatures on the ground to the passing clouds in the vast sky.

Exploring the gardens at Tresillian House is an experience full of such unexpected delights.

Hungarian-born and UK-trained at Cannington College in Bridgwater, László has spent 15 years working as Head Gardener on prestigious private estates. He now leads the gardening team at Tresillian alongside Sarah Almási, a skilled grower and plantswoman, and Martin, the estate’s groundsman and gardener.

The walled garden is a glorious cavalcade of vegetables and flowers, expertly grown together by the team.

A walk through the historic grounds of Tresillian House offers a wonderful sense of rejuvenation and serenity.
