Flourishing at Trevena

There’s a shift in the air at Trevena Cross. The earth is stirring, the days stretch longer, and the nursery – spread across 32 acres – brims with a tide of green. Every bed, every border, every shaded glasshouse is dense with life. Shrubs, perennials, hedging plants, and climbers stand ready, their roots steady and their leaves reaching. Coastal stalwarts, robust and salt-kissed, sit alongside delicate bedding plants and patio favourites, all waiting for their short journey to the garden centre, where eager hands will take them home.

This is a season shaped by quiet toil. The nursery team, with soil under their nails and the scent of compost in the air, have spent the colder months preparing a harvest of colour and texture for Cornwall’s gardens. Now, with spring unfurling, the fruits of their labour spill forth in abundance, a celebration of growth and renewal.

Beyond the plants, Trevena Cross invites visitors to extend their outdoor spaces with an array of new furniture. Whether it’s the cool sophistication of contemporary loungers or the rustic charm of wooden dining sets, each piece is crafted for long days and easy evenings. Imagine sinking into a rattan sofa, a book in hand, or gathering around a solid oak table as the  barbecue smoulders into twilight. These are pieces built to endure – season after season, weathering Cornwall’s moods while remaining a place of comfort and welcome.

And then there’s the Palm Tree Bistro, where the Tiki Hut is shaking off its winter slumber. As the sun climbs, its outdoor seating becomes a retreat for those who want to savour a moment’s pause, perhaps with a plate of something freshly made, sourced from the surrounding land and sea. New dishes join old favourites on the menu, each one a taste of the season. Whether it’s a leisurely lunch or a simple coffee in the warmth of the afternoon, the bistro beckons – a place to linger, to breathe and to take in the quiet pulse of spring’s return.
