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.
