The Kells Bay Rare Plant Emporium is an enthusiast-owned nursery specialising in tree ferns and a carefully curated collection of rare and unusual exotic plants from around the world.

Our collection includes exceptional species from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Vietnam, China, the Himalayas, Mexico, Chile, and many other remarkable botanical regions. Whether you are an experienced collector or simply looking for something a little different, you’ll discover plants that are rarely available elsewhere.

Most of the plants we offer for sale are grown here at Kells Bay, giving us first-hand knowledge and experience of every plant we sell. We have been importing, growing, and selling exotic plants for over 25 years and continue to seek out exciting new and unusual species for our customers.

We are particularly well known for our extensive selection of tree ferns and ground ferns, with one of Ireland’s largest collections available to both professional landscapers and home gardeners.

Visiting the Rare Plant Emporium – Visitors are welcome by appointment

While we are usually on site, we are occasionally away attending plant shows, sourcing new plants, or making deliveries. To avoid disappointment, we recommend contacting us in advance to arrange a visit.

If there are particular plants you would like to see, please include them in your email. We’ll be happy to check availability and, where possible, have them ready for your visit.
