“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...

Very hardy plants with an easy to use website. I am very happy with the condition of the plants and ecstatic to find a reasonable priced line of products. I am still waiting to see the fruition of my endeavors but everything appears to be going as planned with trees that show a reserved vitality and have evidenced an ability to stand against the elements so far.

I purchased 4 short leaf pines which took 8 days to ship from Middle TN to West TN. Those lived 3 days. I emailed them about a warranty which they gave me store credit (cash back would have been better) so I bought 2 yellow pines and 2 short leaf pines which took 11 days to ship from Middle TN to West TN, those arrived dead and there was nothing they could do and the warranty was only good on the first trees so now I have 8 dead pines. They make expensive kindling for a burn pile.

Tip for consumers:
Takes too long to ship, not worth the price you pay. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot or your local nursery

I bought a couple of vines from this place, and they were shipped in ziplock bags with some water gel that had saturated and rotted the plants. I paid for "mature plants," but what I got were a couple of half dead twigs with a bruised, floppy leaf. There was a paper saying the plants might look dead, but that they were "dormant," (although it was not winter) and gave instructions. I followed the instructions to the letter, and a few days later, they'd withered entirely. I left them in the ground just in case, and a couple months later, no growth, no nothing. I paid money for a couple of dead sticks. Given this company's track record of terrible customer service, I didn't bother trying to do a return. Don't waste your time.

PLEASE NOTE: This place also goes by GARDEN DELIGHTS NURSERY.

Tip for consumers:
Don't. Unless you really hate your money and want to get rid of it.

Go to your local nursery!
I purchase 2-15 count assorted flowering perennials. In my order there were 3 different types of plants and 1 wasn't even in the flowering type( jack in the pulpit)
Customer service told me they cannot guarantee what types the order pickers put in your box(They shouldn't work at a nursery)
Your best bet go buy local and get what you order.

Albeit a premature review... we live in hope! Pics in the Spring! So far the experience with Tenn Wholesale Nursery has been tremendous. Even with the free USPS shipping option, the two dogwood trees were delivered within a couple of days of placing the order.The barerooted specimens looked healthy and had a substantial rootball. An excellent price for a pink and specimen. I look forward to future dealings with this company as our new house and garden develops. Colin & Kim Burke

If you know this already then fine, if not, read on. I got lured in by the prices and the great photos of the plants. It wasn't until after my card was charged did I get an invoice that informed me I bought roots. I called, emailed, and tried to cancel order immediately. No answer/no response. When I did talk with customer service, they said "Sorry all sales are final" and suggested that I should have looked into their guarantee page which described what they sell, despite this not being on their homepage or within product description or product photos. Oh well, first and last time ordering for me. I would have been happy enough if the roots would grow withing 4 weeks so I could enjoy them this season, but nope, I'll have to wait an entire year I was told. So if you got the time, this may be your place to shop, if not, skip it and find a nursery with better products and better customer service.

We ordered two mulberry trees at the end of 2020 and asked for a delivery of April. We live in N. H., and our pachage came right on time. We soaked the roots the appropriate amount of time and planted them just below our peach trees. It's now July and our new trees have tripled in size. The leaves are georgeus and plentiful with branches shooting everywhere. We are well pleased and satisfied with this company and their product.

I don't leave many reviews. But, I have placed 3 orders with this company. All product arrived disappointing. Bare root means there is enough to plant. Mine were of a size I needed to use tweezers to plant them (of 25 ordered only 5 have survived). All shipments are late by about a month. Only contact is through an email address. They are either non-responsive or take a week to reply and then its only a partial response. They have a variety of plant status- bare root, blooming age, Mature. My blooming age plants arrived and they are nothing close to blooming age - see image after potting for a week. Product arrives in sandwich ziplock bags with illegible sharpie handwriting telling you the contents. I find this site very deceiptive. I successfully buy plants online a lot and I will not use this one again. Oh, and they remove their bad site reviews.I bought perinnials and ferns.

What a horrible business. I ordered plants that were shipped May 11th. They arrived May 30th. After 19 days in shipping, they were completely dead. The nursery website states that plants are good for 10 days in shipping. This nursery confirmed via my photo that they were dead, but refused to refund my money since I "received my shipment." Absolute nonsense. Find any other nursery to order from instead of Tennessee Wholesale Nursery.

Do NOT buy from this site, or any site associated with Tennessee Nursery (TNnursery, Garden Delights, and many other names the sell through). They do not send you what you ordered! They send plants that are not even listed on the website, and then, when contacted, insist that what they sent is correct. I even sent pictures from their website along with pictures of the plants I received (very different), along with the name of the plant as listed on their web page. Their response?- "Well, this (what they sent) is what we call (name of plant on website)", even tho it does not match their own picture!

I understand that that was not the case and we did not meet your expectations.

I ordered a male & female kolomitika vine b/c they were the only place I could find that had the female in stock. 6 weeks later they arrived and the female was dead. Not wilted but totally leafless and completely dry. I checked the pot it was sent in and the "plant" had no roots. I think they stuck a dead twig of something in dirt and mailed it. I had low expectations to begin with but being knowingly sent garbage still irked me. Getting low quality is one thing, but being purposely sent a dead twig stuck in dirt is another. That's fraud.

I placed an order with Tn Nursery with the understanding that the items order would be shipped in 3 to 4 business days. I received an email from them stating the date I (should) receive the items. On the date stated on the order as to when I should receive the items. I called the company and asked when I could expect delivery, No answer so I left a message. NO RESPONSE, so called again the next day and received a call from the company telling me it could take up to 7 business days since this was their busy season. After 11 business days I cancelled the order. I was sent an email saying "if I cancelled they would take 20% out for cancelling the order. That was news to me it was nowhere to be found on the place I ordered. So be aware of the business practices of this company. I suggest to avoid them all to gether.

Placed an order online and nursery confirmed receipt of my order. I heard nothing else for several weeks, so I emailed the company and called both their phone lines leaving messages for them. I heard nothing, so I started calling daily until I got ahold of someone who said she would have to research the order and get back with me. I heard nothing in response, so called and left messages again. Now, I simply call and call, email and email, and get absolutely no response from this company.

Bought milkweed from them. None of the milkweed came up out of the ground. Contacted them and they wanted pix of the plants that did not thrive. Impossible because they did not come up. They insisted on pix. Just how do you send pix of something that did not grow? They would not fulfill their warranty to replace plants. Very dishonest. Maybe they know of a magic way to send a picture of something that did not grow!

I am working on filling in a streambank at the back of my property and got frustrated with the lack of native plants locally. Tennessee Wholesale Nursery has a great selection of native plants! The bare root stock arrive healthy, on time, and with clear directions on how to plant. I couldn't be happier with my orders!

I order these plants, thinking they were fully bloomed plants. That is what the picture showed, recieved only roots. Then those roots were not even well maintained. I had over 5 plants showed in a small cardboard boxes in ziplock bags with no soil. And most of the roots were broken, some were not even the roots just broken sticks. Waste of money!
