Abbey ruins in Tresco gardens, Scilly Isles, c1955. View of mesembryanthemums and echiums. The sub-tropical Abbey Garden is home to 20,000 plants from more than 80 countries, flourishing 30 miles off the coast of Cornwall. The plants that thrive here wouldn't survive outdoors anywhere else in Britain. As our weather changes, this may no longer be the case in future.
