I spent a lot of money last year on ferns from TN nursery. Only 1 fern grew. I contacted them and they were unwilling to provide any compensation. I will never shop there again. In hindsight I found multiple complaints lodged about their poor service.
Product arrived on my porch with 32 degrees outside. Box was smashed and ends had been opened. It was wrapped in postal ribbon that said damaged parcel. Asked for refund to no avail. My bank refunded my money when they didn't respond to them either. Very low class company. Stay away!

I found Tennessee Wholesale Nursery while looking for plants that fit specific criteria. I loved being able to search by my zone, shade or no shade, etc. The process were great, and shipping was quick.
Hi Lisa, thanks a lot for your kind words and for sharing your 5-star review with the rest of our community.
Everything we have ordered over the past 2 years is still thriving and growing strong! Whether plants, trees or shrubs, all specimens were shipped in great packaging allowing them to arrive ready to plant. Great prices and a wide variety of options to choose from. You will NOT be disappointed in any order you place. We are very pleased with each and every item. THANKS!

The plants you receive are the worst EVER for an online site. This is not legitimate. I received dead roots, literally minuscule plants with dead tops and a few feeder roots. They told me to plant them because they had a 1 year warranty. That covers 40% of cost, and you get a store credit. After 6 weeks nothing grew. Even Dave's Garden won't accept further reviews because Tennessee Wholesale Nursery was suspected of putting up fake positive reviews. I wish I had researched before buying.

Bought three 3_4 foot trees last Fall. Contacted them on delivery when received 3 dead looking sticks. Customer service indicated they would be just fine and to go ahead and plant them. Not surprisingly there was no sign of life in April. Sent photos and got a response that photos were not high enough quality and just wait and carry out a scratch test. Now at the beginning of August no leaves no sign of growth. Not wasting time trying to get any response from Customer Service. Clearly not what they advertise. Save your money and try somewhere that you can actually see what they are selling.
Hi Michael, we do apologize for the negative experience you had with our company and would love the opportunity to make it up to you.

We definitely look forward to hearing from you soon.
I requested 2 patio blueberry bushes in late Feb. 2021. I received 2 sticks in early March that said it was dormant one did not have visible roots! I planted after last snow and it's still 2 sticks sticking out the ground. I call LVMM cause no one answer the phone so I sent an email of what I received. I received response email the following day saying basically we don't stand behind what we sell and we will not send a replacement plant or return your money. The email further said I can come to TN for an in store credit! I live in TX. Buyers be aware this is not the place to shop for quality plants. Good for throwing away money only!

Everything I've received from here have been great - ordered moss, spiraea, hydrangea, wisteria and viburnum. Everything was packaged well and arrived quickly, and they are all thriving. Will definitely be ordering more plants in the future!

I received very healthy plants that did amazingly well. My passion flower vine grew huge and did better than any others I've ever gotten from other nurseries. Very happy and will definitely be a repeat customer!
Dear Christopher, we’re so happy to hear you had a great experience with us. Your review made our day! Our whole team works very hard to keep our customers happy, but we can only do it thanks to amazing customers like you. Thanks again, and we hope to serve you again soon.
I ordered on 05/12/22. I've emailed twice. Once I requested an estimated ship/delivery date. On 06/05/22, I emailed requesting my order be cancelled and my money be refunded. I was told they would see if "my plants had been dug" and that I should "wait for their response." I was unaware of any other choice other than waiting. Although, disputing the charge does seem a likely alternative at this point as I believe they are committing fraud.

Site is easy to navigate, plant bundles give good discounts even for as few as 2 plants, and mixed species bundles are tailored for your growing zone based on shipping address. Overall a great experience!
My package was lost by the post office.
The nursery refused to replace shipment.
Extremely poor customer service.
Very dissatisfied and will dispute charges and report complaint to consumer affairs.
As an owner of a small business, I know how important customer service can be.

After placing my order in April and not hearing anything from them for 3 weeks, I did a google search and saw mostly negative reviews. My heart sank. Last week I got the delivery and could not believe my eyes: 6 ferns in one one gallon plastic bag, and 9 sedges in another, both bags filled with Soil Moist to keep these poor plants barely alive. And for these 2 bags of seedlings, I paid $90.
I have placed orders with many nurseries online for many years and this one is definitely the worst.
Hi Izzy - Thank you for choosing us. We are extremely grateful that you took the time to send us your feedback about our company.

I will pass it on to our product development team to see if they could implement any of these changes in the upcoming releases. I will be sure to keep you updated. Thanks once again and looking forward to hearing more from you.
Placed an order on Saturday. Within less than 24 hours on Sunday, emailed them to cancel my order.
There was no shipping/tracking information that was generated by the time of my cancel request.
They charge 20% fee for cancellation, even when the order has not been yet processed.
To take it even further, a day later they email back asking which plant is not in good condition and they need a picture!

I ordered four wisteria vines to plant along my barn after seeing them at a local nursery for $35.00 each. For less than $30, I was able to order all the plants I needed from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery. My wisteria vines arrived in good condition and came with clear instructions for planting them. I can't to see them bloom in the spring. I will definitely be ordering more plants for my garden next year from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery.
We spotted your 5-star review. Wow! Thank you so much for trusting us, and we can’t wait to help you again in the future.
Placed an order a while back and the customer service rep. Completely ignored the critical notes on my order and that I had called her to confirm the instructions were received. Plants arrived dead and when I reached out the rep told me there was nothing they could or would do and I was SOL. Sent multiple requests for assistance eventually receiving no response anymore. I would file a small claims suit in the county if the filing fee wasn't so high. Terrible service, dead plants.

Thank you for your feedback, and once again, we regret that you were not pleased with us. We hope to have a chance to make this right for you!
I have ordered several times from TN Wholesale Nursery. They ship quickly (at appropriate growing seasons) and are easy to deal with. I have had good success with their plants. They do ship bare root as advertised and buyers should realize these plants require a little more care, but do respond well. Will buy again.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Charles. These are the stories that keep us so motivated to continue doing what we are doing, and we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience. Let us know if we can do anything else for you.
Onlineplantnursery's selection is only so-so, but still they are my go-to online plant source. I haven't had any problems with them yet. I especially like their fast growing trees! Supposedly the company that runs the site is Garden Delights Online Plant Nursery and is based in Tennessee. Maybe I will go visit them one day!
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Elaine. These are the stories that keep us so motivated to continue doing what we are doing, and we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience. Let us know if we can do anything else for you.
I have ordered 4 pine trees 2 pitch pine and 2 short leaf pine back in March. Open box and trees where wilted and dry there where no moss are any kind of packing to keep roots moist. Said the trees where in dormant stage but had new growth. They where shipped to late in season I believe. I planned them and a week later they were dead all 4 of them. I will not recommend to anyone or will I ever order though them again

I ordered a white oak tree for fall planting. It was delivered in November and appeared very healthy. It was packaged really well so there was no damage. I could not get this tree anywhere else. It was about 3 feet tall. Now I just have to wait until spring and summer to see it's full glory. I will definitely order from them again.
Thanks so much for your review Beverly, we love getting feedback about our company and take pride in our customer service. Please get in touch if there is anything else we can do to make your day.
