Plants, gardens & growing in Cornwall.

From our independent nursery near St Columb Major, we grow plants for Cornish gardens and bring decades of landscaping and horticultural experience to every project.

A Cornish nursery with a story.

Kits Nursery began in 2019, initially growing plants for our own landscaping projects. What started as a small growing project soon developed into an independent nursery supplying gardeners, landscapers and trade customers across Cornwall.

Based near St Columb Major, Kits is run by Stephen and Lucy, combining decades of professional landscaping and horticultural experience with local knowledge and a genuine passion for growing quality plants that thrive in Cornish conditions.

More than just a nursery.

  • So lucky to have discovered Kits Nursery...and its local to me! Excellent selection of plants, and Steve was so helpful and full of knowledge. Lovely range of plants available, and reasonably priced too! I came away with some lovely plants to add to my garden, and I will be returning with my husband another time!

  • If you need help with a garden project then I can’t recommend Kits Nursery highly enough. The lovely Lucy and Stephen have been amazing in sharing their plant and landscaping knowledge and providing unlimited advice with our difficult plot. Oh, and they also sell great quality plants at reasonable prices. A local business that’s a real treasure!
