Skillins in Falmouth is such a gem. I especially love their selection of native plants. And, of course, no visit is complete without saying hello to Penny the cat, who might be the shop’s best employee.

Skillins is the most responsive of nurseries. If a plant fails to thrive, even after due diligence has been exercised in its planting and care, they take responsibility readily and quickly. This is, in my experience, unusual. I feel immense respect for them and reciprocate their good faith.
