Corton Plants
Nestled in the heart of Ayrshire, Corton Plants is a family-run nursery dedicated to growing top-quality plants that thrive in the Scottish climate.
Established in 2004 on a working dairy farm, we offer a wide selection of vibrant bedding plants, perennials, shrubs, and trees—all carefully nurtured on-site. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, Corton Plants provides expert advice and friendly service to help you create a garden you’ll love.
WHAT WE OFFER
What you will find at Corton Plants
Hanging Baskets
We provide a varied range of hanging baskets filled with and assortment of plants which will give long lasting colour. Hanging baskets are available in Early Spring, Early Summer and Autumn and are planted with suitable plants for the various seasons. Baskets can be bought ‘off the shelf’ from our ready-made selection or, alternatively you can bring in your own baskets to us and have them re-filled.
Our range of filled containers are enough to brighten up the dullest of corners! We have a fabulous selection to choose from, with all budgets in mind. Again, we are happy to re-fill your own containers if you bring them in to us.
Plants
At Corton Plants we have a great choice of basket and patio plants. With many different varieties and colours available to plant up your own containers and hanging baskets. Plants are sold individually or in full trays. Our staff are only too happy to help you decide! For borders and containers, we provide a fabulous selection of bedding plants. 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.
Shrubs, Perennials, Trees & Climbers
Our shrubs are all grown in the West of Scotland and are specifically selected to suit our climate. We do, from time to time, have a small stock of Italian and Dutch specimen shrubs available which may need a little more care and attention. Our staff are only too happy to advise and assist with plant choices.
From Spring through to Autumn, we stock an excellent choice of perennial plants. Ideal for filling gaps in borders or planting in containers. Again, we will help you choose the right plants for the right place! Our trees are supplied by Stairway Trees.
Sundries
We have all types of sundries available to help you make your garden beautiful! We supply a high quality and reasonably priced Multipurpose Compost – the same type that we use for our own planting. We also supply Ericaceous Compost, Decorative Bark, Farm Manure, and Growbags. We stock a wide selection of fertilisers, fungicides, weed killers, insecticides, tools, watering cans, trugs etc. For decorative purposes and amusement, we have a fabulous range of garden ornaments – both functional and humorous. From animals, to bird baths, to Rodney Trotters car! Our collection of containers is vast. A beautiful selection of top quality ceramic APTA pots, and our lower budget WholeGreen ceramic pots, together with a full range of plastic containers which look great.

Yesterday was one of the best days in the farming calendar! When our lovely herd of Corton Coos were turned out to grass!
Both cows and farmers love this day! The cows runs out to the fields and kick out their heels and enjoy our lush grass during the summer months, meanwhile the farmer enjoys not having to feed them and bed them everyday, giving them time to do other important jobs on the farm.

**NEWSFLASH**
THE ROAD IS OPEN!!
For those who follow us, you will know the negative effect these long lasting roadworks by @amey_uk and @transportscotland on the A77 Corton/Doonholm junction have had on our business. Our footfall has been reduced by one third, many businesses would not be able to shoulder this loss.
Almost five months to install a four way traffic light system! Whilst we were not against this installation, we are very much appalled by how it was executed.
Many, many days with no or very little activity, in particular during the first three months. We are not alone, the disruption this has caused to many commuters, lorry drivers, emergency services, and neighbours not to mention the cost of this project, and this needs to be addressed by our transport minister, Fiona Hyslop. This is what our taxes are paying for - an inefficient process ‘organised’ by people who are unaccountable or do not respond to telephone calls or emails. This is the difference between the public and private sector.
During our complaints about this project, we were promised brown tourist signs and have been made to feel that we should be grateful for these. We have been trying for EIGHT YEARS for our five star tourist attraction to get these brown signs and faced nothing but barriers from a disjointed organisation who kept passing the buck between South Ayrshire Council, Transport Scotland and Ayrshire Roads Alliance. That is the least they could do for us!!
On a lighter note, here is Big Babs, showing off our new signs whilst getting lots of toots from happy drivers!!
Please support local business! No excuses now! 😉
