Garden Shop
The Kells Bay Gardens Plant Centre is an enthusiast-owned nursery that specialises in Tree Ferns and other rare and unusual exotics from around the world.
The current plant range is comprised largely of unusual and rare plants from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and Chile.
All the plants that we have for sale are grown in our own gardens, so we have firs-hand experience of every plant that our customers buy.
We have imported and sold plant exotica for the last 25 years and continue to develop lines in unusual plants. We have a large stock of tree and ground ferns offering a huge choice of plants to both the professional and amateur gardener.
