Mostly Successful First Purchase
January 31, 2026
Updated review

We recently placed an order for plants intended for the pondside area. Currently, all items remain in our nursery, awaiting planting in the spring season. While not all of the river cane appears to have survived, we are optimistic that the crested iris is merely dormant. The cattails, however, are thriving nicely. Overall, we view this as a largely successful effort, particularly given our primary focus on establishing the river cane and cattails along various sections of the water's edge.

We were pleased to have found the cattails we need...

We were pleased to have found the cattails we need for our lake. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to purchase them now, so we can grow them indoors until the weather warms up enough to transplant them to their permanent location next spring.

I ordered witchhazel trees from TN because I couldn't find them elsewhere reasonably priced. I was happy with how they were packed, easy to plant and got more plants than I expected. That was a great bonus. I like getting plants bare root. TN will be one of my go to nurseries from now on.

The order i wanted was for the speial buy 1 get 1 free butwhen checking out it showed 3. I tried this twice but it did the same thing so I went ahead and guess I'll get 3. I have plenty of land for them so I'll see which does best. Your plants look like others I'll want in the Spring. Thanks

Did not receive full order.
January 24, 2026
Updated review

I ordered 200 Loblolly Pine seedlings. I choose to wait to take them out of the box since the weather was below freezing for a couple days. When I started planting I realized I only received 102 of the 200 ordered. I tried to send 2 emails to customer service and both were sent back. I called and was informed I was out of the 24 hr window.

Hi, this is Bailey with TN Nursery. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do want to clarify that all seedling orders are carefully counted and packed prior to shipment. Our 24-hour reporting window is in place because seedlings are perishable, and counts must be verified immediately upon delivery to ensure accuracy and allow us to assist promptly.

Holding plants in the box for several days—especially during freezing temperatures—unfortunately prevents us from verifying shortages after that window. Regarding the returned emails, we’re happy to review that further, as help@tnnursery.net
is fully operational and monitored daily.

We appreciate that you chose us again to complete your planting, and we encourage you to contact us directly so we can discuss available options moving forward.

TN Nursery Is great!
January 23, 2026
Updated review

My experience being all the way honest, is TN Nursery is great. Theyre expedient, great variety, straight forward and to quality driven.
Ive made several orders now, all were delivered quickly, often extras were added, for example, if bought a package of 5, it was mor like 7 or 8... But, youre reading reviews because you want to know the negative, right?
Only thing I can think of, is, prices are kinda high. I mean, even with buy one get one free, buying from a local nursery is almost always more affordable. But, thats not always an option if you dont live here in Tree City Tennessee.

Although I've received extra plants with orders, I would prefer healthier stock in the amount I ordered, rather than more plants that are not the best. I've had some issues with plants surviving, even when carefully attended to.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear some of your plants didn’t arrive as healthy as you expected. We always want to send strong, healthy stock — even when we include extras — and I understand you’d prefer perfectly uniform plants over additional ones. I appreciate you giving us another try, especially since you chose us for the native varieties you couldn’t find elsewhere.

If you ever receive anything that concerns you, please email me photos at help@tnnursery.net and I’ll be happy to review them and help right away. We work hard for our 5-star experience, and I want to make sure this next order is a great one for you.

TN has beautiful hard-to-find plants!
January 20, 2026

I had always thought it neat to be able to obtain plants for my garden from my country, rural, mountain-area like childhood years ago. I have found so many of them at TN and extraordinarily healthy and strong too! Very happy with past purchases. Thank you TN!
