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.

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.

We are particularly happy to welcome new, young gardeners to the nursery who have never had a garden before and want to learn more about plants and flowers and what is right for different gardens, when different flowers should be planted, etc. Not only do we provide flowers to individuals and businesses for gardens, but our flowers are so beautiful that we provide them for florists such as The Flower Shop Southampton and other flower sellers who in term provide them for weddings, celebrations and other important events. Come along and take a look at our beautiful flowers!
