Welcome to Trewidden Nursery, the home of Cornish Camellia and Exotic and Ornamental Shrubs

Trewidden is set in south- facing hills, two miles west of Penzance, Cornwall. The exceptionally mild climate allows us to grow one of the largest and finest selections of Camellias in the country.

This mild climate also allows us to grow many other exotic plants and ornamental shrubs, giving you a wide variety of choice whatever your gardening needs may be.

The chief architect of Trewidden Garden was Thomas Bedford Bolitho who, together with his daughter, Mary, started in 1880 to plant a unique collection of trees and shrubs, thus creating one of the finest gardens in south-west England.

The nursery, started in 1975, now produces a wide range of plants for the commercial market. We specialise in camellias, hardy shrubs, exotic plants and Bamboo garden furniture with emphasis upon the more unusual varieties. New varieties are constantly being developed, with hardiness, colour, and fragrance in mind.

Trewidden Nursery not only provides the finest plants, we also provide an unrivalled after service too. We can recommend pest control companies if pests are wreaking havoc in your garden and provide help and advice on how to care for your shrubs and plants.

As well as grow and sell plants and shrubs, Trewidden Nursery also provide services to local individuals and recommends alternative services to individuals visiting Penzance. Hampshire tree care is one such example of a service that we have suggested to previous visitors to the Nursery and we ensure that all recommendations are justified i.e. previous reviews.

We stock a full range of Stanley Bostitch shed and fencing tools. These garden shed and fencing tools deliver not only fast operation but also the reliability needed to minimise downtime tool repair. These are 'must have' tools for any serious gardener.

One of our most popular line of garden furniture products includes benches. You can choose from our Rochester, Tobago, Acacia, or corner-style benches. A well placed set of garden benches is great for the family, guests, and even local wildlife or the family pet. Consider one of our many different types of garden benches if you want to accent your garden or outdoor area.

Once you are finished with all your hard gardening and fencing work, you will want to relax. What better way to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor, than to kick back in comfortable outdoor garden furniture either on a patio or right in the middle of your garden. Trewidden Nursery stocks a wide variety of teak wood outdoor garden furniture including tables, chairs, benches, and umbrellas.

Please take notice of our winter sale of underwater products ranging from plants and aquatic supplies to the fish themselves. Fish enthusiasts will be thrilled to have a surveillance camera or Fish Pond Camera to record the behaviour of the fish year round. Easy to install and gives endless recording time to the entire pond’s habitat including frogs, fish and all underwater life.
