Second time ordering from TWN which are both pre-orders. Website is a pleasure to navigate. This company explains every concern I have as well in has detailed information on all your questions.
We have recently ordered many times with Tennessee Nursery and have always been pleased. Ordering is easy, your kept up to date with delivery and plants or rhizomes were as expected. We'll be ordering again!
Well, as of now, i think they all died but I will see when the spring comes. Also< i would like more that 2-3 colors of Trillium in my order.
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 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.
Have ordered all my Dogwood trees from TN nursery and they have been healthy, hearty trees. They were all packaged well, with no damage.
Almost all of my precious purchases have thrived in my meditation garden. I am a very happy and satisfied customer back again for another purchase.
Thank you! 🙏
I purchased one pear branch and received two more and they all came looking healthy but Spring will be the time I know for sure 😁
Thank you! 🙏
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.
Thank you so much!
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
You keep orders straight addeliver when you say you will. I have ordered ferns& Dogwoid Trees and they are all doing great. I plan on ordering more in the near future🍪.
Thank you so much!
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.
It was a mixed experience. Some of the plants I chose did well. My barefoot celadon poppies never emerged from the soil after planting.
Hi Lisa, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and use each comment to continue improving—for gardeners like you who are passionate about nurturing plants. We hope to provide you with excellent results next time!
Were building a sort of forage farn and your site has sone of the best variety, including some illinois specific wetland flowers ive been after.
Thank you so much!
The prices for the Moss was much cheaper before which let me to buy different type. Now I limit myself because of the over price and no real deal.
Thank you so much!
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.
Chris, thanks so much for sharing your honest thoughts and for being a loyal customer. We truly appreciate when fresh ideas top off your orders, and we're always thinking about how to keep giving the best balance of quality and value. Looking forward to helping with your future plans, no matter the size or where you’re planting roots!
What can I say. They tend to be a bit on the small side, and I tend to not trust businesses who want buy good feedback.
I think TN Nursery does very important work by offering native plants that give back to nature and its creatures. When we plant natives we are working hand in hand with GOD!
Yes! Thank you so much!
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.

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!
Thank you so much!
Quality was good but shipping flexibility is not available. Travel a lot and like to coordinate shipping so I am home to receive and plant quickly.
Thank you so much! It's hard when it comes to shipping because we freshly dig most of our plants, I'm sorry!
Works for all the reasons they tell you. Plants are easier to transport to site, plant in the ground and seem to acclimate quickly with less shock than potted plants.
Yes! Thank you so much!
Shipping takes a while but overall, for me it's worth the wait. Customer service seems to keep things moving and very responsive.
Trees have always arrived on time and healthy. I have several that have been in the ground for 5 to 6 years and they are doing great.
Thank you so much! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PICS! You can upload pictures to our Google reviews!
