Trevena Cross doesn’t just sell plants; it grows them – more than 90% of what it sells in fact – with passion and expertise that simply can’t be rivalled.
Our huge 32 acre, on site growing area gives us the scope to grow and nurture a continuous supply and huge variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, hedging plants and bedding plants, including rare and unusual specialities that are tough to find anywhere else – certainly locally.
This rather exceptional growing operation, along with the garden centre, is independent, and family owned and run by the Jeffery family, (owners Graham and Rachel live with their family at the very top of the nursery). It has remained in the same hands since the business’s inception back in 1976, with the growing area steadily increasing in size to the huge expanse that it is today, encompassing a propagation house, potting area, outdoor bays, and multiple huge indoor polytunnels – including heated tunnels to make overwintering a variety of plants, and preparing stock for spring, a whole lot easier.

A hidden secret...
A dedicated nursery team work five days a week behind the scenes to ensure smooth operation of the nursery – a fact that most garden centre visitors are unaware of. From propagation – which Lead Propagator and extremely knowledgeable plantsman Graham is responsible for – to potting, weeding, nurturing and managing the huge quantity and range of stock in the nursery – led by Nursery Manager Damien, it is certainly no mean feat, growing our plants and ensuring that the nursery continues to operate as as a well-oiled machine!… And only a walk up the lane from the garden centre area.
