These are sold in multi-packs and are all grown on-site and are therefore suited to our climate. When the seasons allow, we also stock vegetable transplants, sweet peas, herbs, fruit bushes, heathers and alpines.

Our shrubs are all grown in the West of Scotland and are specifically selected to suit our climate.

Our staff are only too happy to advise and assist with plant choices.

About Us
Established in 2004 by owner Alison Kerr, Corton Plants has grown from a single poly-tunnel to a successful traditional plant nursery, with seven poly-tunnels housing over 200 plant varieties.
Located at South Corton Farm, Alloway, a working dairy farm, we are easily found just off the A77. We have ample parking and our beautiful country location offers a quiet gardener's haven to browse and select our quality plants.
Our staff are dedicated plant lovers who can offer expert advice and a personal service from helping you to choose the best plants for your garden to advice on how to care for your plants.
We are committed to offering a wide selection of plants and in 2010 erected our first twin-span tunnel. We are passionate about plants and that's our main priority. You won't find a tearoom and gifts for the home at our nursery, but you will find good quality plants at reasonable prices all home grown in Ayrshire by helpful, knowledgeable staff.
