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.

Extensive expertise, dedicated staff, and an eye for detail will ensure that Trewidden Nursery continues to produce plants of the very finest quality. This is reflected in our role as a key supplier of plants to cutting edge outlets including The Eden Project.
