History: The Trevarno Estate can be traced as far back as 1245 and throughout the centuries the land has been owned by a succession of notable families. However in 1994, the estate was put up for sale for the first time in 120 years leaving the new and current owner with an important restoration project ahead.

The idea was to regenerate the land into a viable and vibrant country estate for the 21st century. To fund the renovation and continuing preservation, a plan was formulated that included opening the gardens to the public. From the very beginning, it was decided that commercial activities had to be sensitive to Trevarno and the local environment, and any items offered for sale would be grown, designed or produced at Trevarno.

As part of the regeneration and with an aim to revive traditional crafts within the estate, initial research into methods of producing pure soap from plant oils, herbs and essential oils began in 1996 and by 1998 (and in time for the formal opening of the gardens to the public) the Trevarno natural soaps were proving to be so successful that an old carriage house was converted into the soap workshop to keep up with demand. This was then followed by a range of plant-based skincare remedies, which meant that part of the estate’s manor house had to be converted into the herbal workshop and has continued to evolve into the extensive selection which is available today.
