Probus Gardens were established nearly 30 years ago to encourage local gardeners to take best advantage of the opportunities that the Cornish climate affords. The gardens were designed to be a source of information, advice and ideas to all interested gardeners.

The exposed site at probus has stimulated the use of a system of hedges to provide shelter. There are now over 35 different hedging varieties used at probus to divide the garden into sheltered 'rooms'; each of which has been developed into a different gardening theme.
