A Royal Visit - Duchy of Cornwall Nursery
A Royal Visit
www.duchyofcornwallnursery.co.ukThe Duchy’s growing nursery site operated on the Duchy lands in Lostwithiel, Cornwall with a 50-year growth period and ongoing expansions featuring a newer extension, retail space, and an Orangery restaurant. Prince William visited in July 2023 to view the nursery extension, glasshouse, and gardens. Duchy revenue funds the Duke’s public, private, and charitable work. The nursery lies within the Duchy estate and is part of a long-standing estate operation that opened to the public in 1975. A fifty-year growth plan has guided its development. Awards and recognition accompany the nursery. Duchy of Cornwall Nursery continues to expand with garden center facilities while emphasizing nature-friendly horticulture.
