The Nursery is part of the original Duchy of Cornwall
Estate. It is situated across the valley from
Restormel
Castle,
the home of the first Duke of Cornwall. Originally a slate
quarry, the site was used for forest tree production in
the late 1960's. We started to sell plants to the
public in 1974 and since then have gone on to become one
of the largest and most well-respected nurseries in the
South West.
As a traditional nursery, we pride ourselves on the range
and quality of plants we produce, as well as the friendly,
expert advice offered by our staff.
Every year sees changes in our plant range with many new
introductions and re-introductions of garden-worthy plants.
The main categories covered are: Flowering and Foliage
Shrubs, Ornamental Trees, Herbaceous Perennials, Alpines,
Climbers, Fruit, Conifers, Roses, Ferns, Grasses and
Conservatory plants. Specialties are Conifers, Fuchsias and
Camellias, with good ranges of Magnolias, Bamboos, and
Rhododendrons.
