Goscote Nurseries

Goscote Nurseries is an independent nursery and garden centre at Cossington, in the countryside between Leicester and Loughborough, and has been trading for more than sixty years. It has a particular reputation for acid-loving and ornamental plants, growing and stocking Japanese maples, rhododendrons and azaleas, magnolias, camellias and pieris, alongside a broad range of trees, shrubs, conifers, herbaceous perennials, alpines, roses, clematis and houseplants. Practical lines such as composts, pots, tools and gravel sit next to greenhouses and sheds for sale, and there is a cafe on site. As a specialist grower rather than a general retail chain, staff can advise on planting for particular soils and conditions. It remains a single-site, family-scale business, and is a destination for gardeners looking for less commonplace shrubs and specimen plants.
