If I could give them no stars I would. This business is a scam. Ordered over $300 worth of plants to plant around my pond over a year ago. I received small dried up stems that bore little resemblance to a plant. Not one plant survived. Only then did I investigate and learn that this business has been the subject of numerous complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Unless you like to throw money away, do not patronize this business!

This moss is exactly what I want and so glad to find a source, but I ended up going out of town before it was sent and delivered. The person watering for me didn't understand my instructions about the box. I opened it in the dark last night and got water on it but I saw some of the moss was already brown.But: U think it will rebound, we'll see.

It was prompt

Reason I chose this business:

Article: looking for moss to replace part of moss lawn disturbed due to erosion control process

Reason I chose this product:

I have a moss lawn in front and in my side yard.

Ordered a bunch of plants a few months ago, they arrived quickly and, happily, were larger than expected. Planted them when they arrived and are doing great. Will be ordering more.

I made a mistake recently regarding an earlier special that the Tennessee Nursery was running. Candy was a big help in helping me resolve my issue. This was a great example of customer service.

Terrible experience with Tn Nursery regarding order ID #*******., when ordering ship date was listed as Now, well they did ship till more than 3 weeks later. Tried to call customer service to check on my order and the telephone # was no longer in service. Finally able to text Tn Nursery to cancel order and they required a 20% cancellation fee which I agreed to. They shipped the order anyway and billed me the full amount. Terrible Service, will never order again from Tn Nursery

Tip for consumers:
Customer Support is terrible, Support telephone # is not an active #

Hi Pat. I would like to apologize for the service you received when purchasing our products. After talking to our team it seems that things should have been explained to you in more detail. I understand that that was not the case and we did not meet your expectations. As you know from using our services in the past, this is not how we operate, and we will continue to train our staff so everyone is on the same page. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. If you would like to discuss this further, you can reach us at the following email: customerservice@tennesseewholesalenursery.com

I placed an order online for five live milkweed plants. I called the next morning to find out the shipping timeframe. They told me 10 business days I said that is too long I need to cancel my order. I sent another request that I want to cancel my order. Six days later I receive twigs in a bag. That is the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. How insulting that you send me roots not live plants, roots After I said I wanted to cancel my order. Never order from them they do what they want

I ordered this little tree in July in honor of my tiny niece. One of her nicknames is Sassafras. I was thankful it was held at the nursery until November. Louisiana heat can be pretty hard on a tiny tree. When I received it the packaging was in tact and secure. The tree was healthy and firm. I intend to keep it as a specimen tree so I have it in a barrel outside. We've been through a couple of cold spells. I took a couple of pics where you can see it is still green and actually tiny new growth. I highly recommend TN NURSERY

Horrible customer service! I ordered my plants on 3/12. On 3/14 I sent an email asking when I should expect to receive my order. The same day I was told the order would take 7-10 days to fulfill and then another 3-5 days to receive.
On 3/22 I sent another email asking for the status and my email went unanswered. Today, 3/25,13 days later and another request for status, I have yet to here from the TN Nursery.

I purchased several items, mostly ferns, and they were all pretty good plants. The one exception was the Turks Cap Lilies, there were several nice bulbs but the majority of them were just little broken pieces of bulbs that won't amount to anything this year.

I purchased 9 Liatris "live plants" from this company and they sent old, dormant bulbs in a bag of dirt! How can they claim to send live plants when that's not what you get? I asked for my money back and they refused. I decided to plant them anyway and NONE of them grew! Not ONE. I asked for my money back again - under warranty this time - and they still refused! This company is very deceitful and does not honor their own warranty. Buyer beware! I will never order anything from them again.

Tip for consumers:
Buyer beware. They do not sell live plants and do no honor their warranty.

Products used:
I tried planting the dormant liatris bulbs and none of them grew. No refund given.

I had 75 cedars delivered for fall 2020, I planted properly, staked, watered, etc. In a matter of days they were all turning brown and all 75 died. I sent pics early when they were dying, I emailed them back in spring and they replied they would all have to be returned for store credit. I had my wife take them for shipping they said I would be cheaper to drive them back than ship them, not possible. Very disappointed and am out several hundred dollars. I should have read all the reviews first so I could have saved my $585.00!

I received dead dogwood trees on arrival. I planted them and they have not grown or sprouted. I have done the scratch test sent photos and requested replacements. The company has complied. They have emailed me back requesting more pictures and telling me to wait until August. I will never purchase from this nursery again.

I love the products. You need to have patience to wait for the plants to look beautiful in the spring and/or summer. The come without leaves and bare roots but if you follow the instructions they will be beautiful and healthy when the weather turns warmer. Excellent value!

Easy to find items. Good prices
Customer service hard to get hold of, and not very responsive.
Ordered 50 "plants" of the Pennsylvania sedge. They were a bunch of grass plants sent in a plastic garbage bag. There was quite a bit of extraneous material (weeds, ex. Clover) mixed in with the grass plants.

They were unresponsive... it took three emails, along with threats to cancel the order before I got a response.

Reason I chose this business:

Found it on a google search

In Jan of 2015 I ordered one Contender Peach and one Red Gold Nectarine. Both received in good condition and labeled correctly.

Both broke dormancy and grew normally. Spring of 2017 the peach tree bloomed. All white not a peach colored bloom to be seen. Peaches do not bloom white. I emailed customer service and got no response. Spring of 2018 both trees are blooming. Both are solid white and appear to be the same tree.

Nectarines also do not bloom white. I don't know what trees I have. This annoys me greatly. I've given valuable space to two unknown trees for 3 years. I don't even know if they are fruit trees. These trees did not die back and regrow from root stock. They were sent wrong. Through honest error or through not caring I don't know.

I purchased $160 of creeping phlox which arrived dead. I notified them, and they said it only looked dead and to plant anyway. They said they would issue a refund if it did not come back. It did not. I sent pictures. I sent many emails. I was continually told a refund was coming, and then they stopped answering. There's no way to get a refund from your credit card company once a year has gone by. Bogus promises, terrible customer service, dead plants.

Messaged team about dead paw paw tree sent photos, was asked to wait until later in the year. Was approved for replacement. When asked for replacement was sked to wait until the end of June because of probably late dormancy even though it was already approved. Sent new photos showing the plant was clearly dead and brown after scratch test. They keep telling me it is alive and almost 9 months since we have had it. How can you say approved, wait, and then go back on a previous approval. This is such bad customer service. All we want is our tree, we are not asking for a refund we are asking for a replacement for a dead tree that never grew since we had it.

Ordered Elderberries and black raspberres. Received dead sticks. They offered to refund my money if I waited a year, and pulled the dead sticks are returned them, but it was pretty obvious that they were dried up when I received them. Planted them as instructed (they may look dead, but plant them anyway). They were dead. Not a single one even budded.

It's been a while, but I was just cleaning out my mailbox when I came across the receipt, and got ticked off again. They wasted my time and labor just for a dollar, and I think they knew it. This was in April 2019 and they stayed dead in 2020. Orders 5998 and 5988. This lesson cost me $45.72 and $50.72 or $96.44..

Tip for consumers:
They copped an attitude when I called to complain about them being dead. They acted like they didn't believe me.

Products used:
None. Never mail ordered again. Have not shopped for products locally.

This company is a fraud. I purchased 3 pine trees from them, and all arrived sick and were dead within one month. They do not offer refunds, but said they would give me $3 off and free shipping on my next order. Gee, a whole $3 off after wasting more than $100 on their garbage?

And they don't even package bare root plants with wet newspaper, soil, or hydrogel. So the roots were all bone dry after being sent across the country. No wonder they all died. Total rip-off. And they refuse to answer their phone. Go ahead, just try to talk to someone before you order.

Bottom line: Avoid Tennessee Wholesale Nursey unless you want to be treated like garbage and prefer dead plants and trees to healthy ones. Absolute garbage.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid. This place is a racket.
