Information about The Duchy of Cornwall Nursery
The Duchy of Cornwall Nursery can realistically claim to be unique. The combination of its superb rural location, the range and quality of its plants and the expertise of its staff make a visit essential for every gardener and plant enthusiast.
The nursery offers for sale some 4000 varieties of plants, including many rarely available elsewhere. The majority are grown here on the nursery, from material obtained over the years from around the world. We also buy in material, usually young plants for growing on, from home and abroad.
Our aim is to offer gardeners not just a very wide choice, but more importantly a very good choice of the best garden plants currently available.
Our staff works hard to maintain the enviable reputation that the nursery now enjoys for its quality, service and choice.
We aim to offer a friendly and pleasant atmosphere for our customers to enjoy their shopping. We have a tea room offering light refreshments, a small but well stocked shop for garden sundries, books and the like, and plenty of undercover growing and sales space so that even in inclement weather, you'll be able to shop in relative comfort. There are several picnic areas available for use during fine weather.
The attractive and historic town of Lostwithiel nearby offers many visitor attractions as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes. Restormel Castle, built c1100 and owned by the Duchy of Cornwall since 1299, is across the valley from the nursery, from where excellent views of it may be obtained.
