Closed for the Autumn and Winter
Thank you to all the visitors and customers we've received this year and thank you for all the kind wishes following the sudden death of Carl.
We've taken the decision to close for the Autumn and Winter, to reopen again in the Spring of 2025.
Good health and happiness to all.
Fotch thi sen a butty and sit thi dawn in t' picnic area!
(Bring a packed lunch and sit down in the picnic area!)
At Rectory Nurseries we are well known for our warm Wigan welcome and hospitality.
Almost all customers are offered a cup of tea and a biscuit when they arrive, as the saying goes in Spain "mi casa es su casa" (“make yourself at home”, literally “my house is your house”).
So when you next come to visit us why not bring a packed lunch and enjoy spending time with us in our new picnic area.
We have a few tables and chairs for you to sit, eat, spend time and chat about plants, art or any of life's ups and downs.
Welcome to Rectory Nurseries
Rectory Nurseries is a small independent nursery based in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan.
Father and son team Kevin and Carl Duffy not only grow and sell some superb plants including summer and winter bedding plants, they also have a well stocked hardware store.
Established over 40 years Rectory Nurseries is loved by many not only for the plants but for the outsider art created by Kevin Duffy over the last 40 years.
Carl and Kevin welcome all visitors to the nurseries and to see the art, sculptures and installations. From individuals, groups, schools and colleges all are welcome.
No matter if you simply want to spend time looking at the artwork or want few bedding plants a warm welcome awaits.
Entrance to the art installations and sculptures is via a small donation. All money raised goes to help support local schools, charities and other good causes.
Schools tours are free!
