The founders planted the upper garden with specimens from abroad including rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, azaleas, tree ferns and bamboos.
The skeleton of a brain coral brought to Penjerrick by Captain FitzRoy of the Beagle (that was Charles Darwin's expedition ship) can be found in the garden.
[4] The lower part of Penjerrick is a dense valley garden reached by a wooden bridge.
In this wild, jungle-like setting are four ponds and countless tree ferns that date back almost to the original planting of the garden.
