Welcome to Kilmurry Nursery
Nestled just outside Gorey in County Wexford, Kilmurry Nursery is a family-run nursery with a passion for plants, gardens, and all things green. Founded by Paul and Orla Woods, we’re now joined by our daughter Hazel, carrying forward a tradition of horticultural excellence and innovation.
Our Story
Paul’s journey began in commercial horticulture, training at Warrenstown College and working as Head Gardener with the OPW before launching his own landscaping and design business. Orla followed her passion for plants and studied Amenity Horticulture at the Botanic Gardens, gaining a deep appreciation for planting design and plant care. Hazel has proudly followed in her mother’s footsteps, completing Level 7 in Amenity Horticulture at the Botanic Gardens and Level 8 at UCD, bringing fresh ideas and expertise to the nursery.
In 1998, Paul and Orla took a leap of faith, purchasing three acres in Wexford to start Kilmurry Nursery. What began as a small-scale operation has blossomed into a nationally respected nursery, known for quality, creativity, and sustainability. Over the years, our work has been recognized with 12 RHS medals, including a Gold at Chelsea, celebrating the dedication and skill of our team.
What Makes Us Different

Our Approach
We believe gardening should be inspiring, stress-free, and fun.
