“Which plant was it you want me to review?”

Robert U.
7/25/24

It would help if the email for the review listed WHAT I purchased! I'm landscaping a side yard so I'm ordering a lot of plants online and I don't recall that your info with the plant had anything about TN nursery on it, so I don't know what I'm supposed to review. However, everything I've ordered has arrived with no problems, on time and healthy. They are all flourishing so I suppose that's a good review.

“This is a scam company.”

I am a professional arborist. All of the root stock I purchased was labeled incorrectly. They refused to correct the issue. Their main concern was to keep the money, not good customer service. The better business bureau is filled with complaints about them. Beware...

Sent dead plants, would not even acknowledge my correspondence about them. Sent pictures of dead plants as ask for, have heard nothing. Either poorly run or arrogant hoping unhappy customers will go away. Would NEVER buy again. Beware

I ordered moss and when it was delivered it was soaking wet, which means I had to install it immediately in order to keep mold from developing. Also, half of the bags of moss were just small fragments that could not be successfully installed. Other companies I have ordered moss from provided dry, large, moss colonies that were superior, but they were more expensive, which is why I tried your product. Your moss still worked but was somewhat of a letdown.

I planted the items as directed. I was told I could plant now as I am in zone 9. Nothing, I repeat. Nothing happened. The plants were dead and remained so. I requested a refund and I have had not response.

No response to my email.

Reason I chose this product:

Because you said they were guaranteed to come up and live.

For Perennials, Ferns, Vines or Groundcovers

If anything planted below the surface of the soil is planted and temperatures are above 70 degrees, 1-5% may come in that spring or summer, but the majority of those will all come in the following spring. Please wait until your other plants come up and give your new plants a couple of extra weeks before you file a claim.

For this order two plants came recently and another will come in the Spring. The two are flowers that should attract pollinators, humming birds, and damselflies to my pond area. These came healthy. I planted them. They are still alive. Let's see if they survive the winter.
For many previous orders I have sometimes gotten healthy plants and sometimes dying plants, things with little or no roots. I ordered running cedar ground cover. I got clippings of cedar vine-like pieces with no roots at all. The first time I ordered pigeonberry ground cover I got these pathetic, maybe not even alive, as in only one green leaf bit, stringy things. The next multiple times that I ordered pigeon berry they were healthy with real roots, stems, and leaves. That area is growing well. It will probably be established in 2 or 3 years. I have ordered so, so many baby trees from TN. They usually come as a stick with a sort of tiny, piece, of root. The only trees from TN that have actually had enough root to grow are a sugar maple, which is about 5 feet tall now, and one of the sassafras trees lived through a winter and was greening the next spring and a lawncare guy pulled the protective chicken wire away from it and trampled it to death. Not the fault of TN. So, I have wasted a lot of money on trees and wasted a little money on plants. I sent pictures of the strings that were supposed to be pigeonberry. They gave me the run around and never sent me replacements or gave me store credit. That was a few years ago. Recently I sent pictures and filled out the form showing the raw, dead, stems of 2 pawpaw trees that I bought and planted this past spring. That was in October. I am still waiting for a reply. I know they can send me replacements if they want to; they were trying to give them away recently on the website. So, I know that I cannot count on what quality of a plant I may get from TN. I know that they do not have the integrity to give refunds or store credit for the many plants that they send out with not enough healthy root to live. I order from them anyway, because they offer the native plants that I want, that I cannot find elsewhere.

Reason I chose this business:

I need another Methley Plum tree to replace one that didn't make it from another online nursery.

I had a little trouble ordering on this website because at first the buy one get one free showed up on the order form and then my order disappeared and when I tried to do it again, it didn't show BOGO, so I wasn't sure if I got the deal or not, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got my order because not only did I receive two of everything I received 4 to 6 of everything.

Reason I chose this business:

I just did a search looking for Trillium because I have a perfect place to plant them and your website popped up.

I planted my 8 creeping phlox in 2 pots temporarily since it is sooooo hot here... they seem to be doing all right. Plan to plant in garden in fall when it's cooler to get them situated before low temps.

Lovely site. It's well organized and has enough info to make informed decisions about most plants. I would prefer to see details of the plant's growth habits in a grid or list. Scanning through paragraphs to find mature plant height and spread, zone, and soil requirements makes the shopping process a lot more tedious than it needs to be.
More general photos of the plants would also be helpful. Many of the photos are generic, and most of the photos don't show completely mature plants, which would be helpful.
Anyhoo - great nursery! I haven't received any of my orders yet, but I'm confident I'll be happy with what I get.

Reason I chose this business:
