Gardening on the Edge

This is a small group guided tour. If you wish to book a general visit only, please visit our Theatre and Garden Visit page.

Rowena Cade created the Minack Theatre in harmony with the landscape of Cornwall. Since the 1990s we have developed the Minack garden to showcase an extraordinary variety of plants that thrive on the side of a Cornish cliff. Our gardeners think of the Minack as a series of raised beds. They are delighted to share their wealth of experience as Chelsea Gold Award winners.

Discover the unique challenges of our cliffside garden with one of our Head Gardeners and find out how they enable exotic plants to flourish in the harsh conditions. There will be tips on coastal gardening and drought tolerant planting. They'll be happy to answer your gardening questions.
