I think you will find it is Trelissick Garden that belongs to the National Trust.In 1937, Mrs Copeland inherited Trelissick, and together with her husband, Ronald, created the garden that exists today. The Copelands planted many species that flourish in the mild Cornish air, including an abundance of the tender asian shrubs that are so characteristic of many gardens in Cornwall - magnolias, camellias and rhododendrons - together with many rare varieties of {hydrangea;} a speciality of Trelissick and a feature of the garden.

The house or mansion as it sometimes called is not part of the National Trust owned garden. The house does contain the Copeland china collection.
