Crossgate Nursery

A family-run plant nursery growing and selling a range of quality garden plants

Propagating Our Passion

Crossgate Nursery is a family-run business established in 2021 to develop our passion for growing and cultivating plants of all sorts.

We sell a select but expanding range of plants. Our size enables us to grow each plant with care and attention. It also means we have intimate knowledge of all the plants we sell, having grown them in our own gardens over the years.

Everything we do at the nursery is driven by a commitment to quality over quantity, and by a desire to cultivate beautiful and inspiring growing spaces. We want, above all, to ensure the plants born at our nursery thrive and flourish in your home and garden.

Our Plants

As a young plant nursery we have been busy over the last two years building our stock from the ground up, and have been gradually increasing the range of plants we have made available for sale. We specialise in herbaceous perennials – principally those that do well in our local climate, which, being Cornwall, can be humid and wet, particularly over winter! We consider Cornwall to be something of a canary in the coalmine for the effects of climate change, which is bringing wetter, milder winters to all of us in the UK.

Currently our stock is being prepared for overwintering and we have therefore paused sales for the rest of the year. We will start to make plants available for sale again from early January, once we can be sure the plants have come through the winter unscathed and are beginning back into growth. You can visit our Shop Page page for more information on these plants, but please be aware we will be adding additional plants early in the new year and throughout next year’s growing season as we continue to expand our range. So if you’re interested in what we do please do come back from time to time to see what new plants we have for sale!

In the meantime we wish all our fellow plant and garden enthusiasts a relaxing winter break, and if you have any questions about our stock or anything else that we do on the nursery please do drop us a line at info@crossgatenursery.co.uk.

Our nursery is situated on the slopes of the Tamar River, at an ancient crossing point where the verdant hills of Devon meet the Cornish hinterlands.

Cultivated in Cornwall

Crossgate Nursery is sited at an ancient crossing point over the Tamar, where the meandering river divides Cornwall from Devon.

The Cornish climate has long been wetter and milder than much of the UK. But the added unpredictability of the climate in recent years has made growing conditions for us all particularly challenging.

This all means that the concept of ‘right plant, right place’ has never been more relevant to us as growers. As we grow the nursery we will therefore develop our specialism in plants that can adapt to flourish in our changing climate.

We hope you’ll take a look around, and we look forward to growing and adapting together.

What Our Customers Say

In our first two trading years we sold a number of plants through our Etsy and Ebay pages, before bringing this website online last year to provide customers with a means of buying from us directly. We were delighted to hear from so many folk who bought and rehoused our plants – for a quality focused business such as ours knowing our plants are thriving in new homes is wonderful to hear!
