Even in autumn, the flowers and shrubs were still blooming and showy. We went twice and saw different things each time. Make sure you watch the red squirrels at feeding time.Full review by RothburyLady

I visited in October. It was beautiful. There were lots of flowers and trees in bloom. If you have the luxury of visiting whenever you wish, I would go and pay a visit in every season. I bet you discover lovely things every time. Different plants are in bloom all year round. Enjoy and experience the beauty of nature. I hope this answer will help :)
Is it possible to see the squirrels without having to visit the gardens? That is, do they live anywhere outside the pay-zone? I'm visiting Scilly next year for the first time, not a plant freak but like wildlife. Just come back from a hotel in the Lake District where they visit the garden for free!

Hello Gr0mit2013 Just to confirm that dogs are allowed on Tresco, including the Abbey Garden. We do ask that dogs are kept on a lead at all times on Tresco. Dogs are only permitted in the courtyard/terrace area of the Flying Boat Restaurant, Ruin Beach Cafe and Garden Cafe, but are permited in the bar area and garden of The New Inn. Hope this helps!
