The owner goes above and beyond in helping her staff and customers. Although she has had to deal with negligent employees, who have set out to ruin her business. She remained trust worthy, honest and focus on keeping her business afloat. She has taken great steps in correcting all the negative impact that has given her bad reviews. She has help maintain a great customer relationship with me. And have provided the full understanding of her products. The service has been straightforward and the process has been easy.
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.
I ordered ferns - ostrich and maiden hair. Bare roots arrived alive and the ostrich fern had a single frond. Planted the roots in peat pots this time so I could keep track of growth until the ferns were well established in soil. Ostrich fern frond immediately died off but new fronds were appearing. Maiden hair has yet to show green above soil but still hoping it will sprout before end of summer.
Customer service was responsive to inquiry about the status of my order.

Nancy, 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.
Tennessee Wholesale Nursery has excellent customer service, and the best selection of high quality plants for my growing area. We have always had a great experience ordering our plants from them. We have wildflower and native plant butterfly/hummingbird gardens in our yard and love adding to them with plants from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery!
Dear Laurieann, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your five-star review. It means a lot to the whole team, and we’d love to have you back very soon.
Everything I have ordered from this company has arrived in perfect condition. And they have flourished after planting. Even the Running Cedar! I never hesitate to order from them. So glad I found them!

I have ordered serveral items and never had a bad experience. Communication is great and I am aware of every step my plant takes in getting to me.
Plants come healthy. A word to the wise: if the plant ships dormant, don't worry! Follow instructions and you will have success!
I'm planning to place an order very soon for some fall planting.

AT END OF SEASSON ORDERED 2 DOGWOOD TREES FOR MY FARM AND RECEIVED THEM IN 3 OR 4 DAYS. THEY WERE PACKED IN LONG BOX WITH PVC PIPE IN THE BOX TO KEEP THE TENDER TREES FROM BEING BROKNE. THE TREES WERE FRESHLY DUG. GREAT ROOT STOCK. THEY HAVE NEEN IN GROUND ABOUT 30 DAYS (IN OCTOBER) AND ARE SPROUTING NEW LEAVES. HAVE ORDERED 2 MORE OF THEM FOR MY HOME, I WAS SO IMPRESSED.

Received 5 bare root Wild Huckleberry plants last Nov. Of 2020. Planted as soon as they arrived. As of now Sept, 2021, all five are alive & growing. Very pleased..
Hearing how much you love our products has brightened up our day at Tennessee Wholesale Nursery! Thank you for the great review you left us, Dominnick, and for choosing to shop with us!
Quality items received. Decent price for products. Growing fast from a starter. The tree I bought is taking off.
Thank you for the awesome review about our company, David. We are so pleased to hear it is working just as it should and that you are enjoying it so much! If there is anything else we can do, please let us know. We hope to see you shopping with us again.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE FROM VERIFIED PURCHASERS!
Among verified purchases they have all 1 star reviews - because that's the lowest number. If there was a zero star option they'd have zero.
I've ordered 7 bushes, 3 vines, and gotten a "free" set of two flowers. While I'll admit I'm not a master gardener, I've certainly grown more than my share of things. I've tried planting according to the directions, and then ignoring the directions and planting based on my own knowledge. Even planted in a controlled greenhouse environment. Nothing they've ever shipped me has been live.
Worse, when you contact "customer service" they ask you to jump through hoops, then when you do they have more hoops, then more hoops - I eventually said they could replace my order or I'd file a chargeback with my bank. FINALLY they made good on their warranty. And sent me more pre-killed stuff.
Save your time and spend a little more elsewhere. Fast growing trees dot com was FANTASTIC - yes, more expensive, but everything arrives ready to grow, and if there is a problem they just replace it, rather than trying to get you to give up because of all the hoops.
AVOID. Tennessee Wholesale Plant Mortuary is a better name.

I've ordered ferns from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery a number of times, and received them in bare root, a selection right for my area, and always prompt in shipping. "Naturalizing" is the word I've found for what I'm
Doing. A so-so lawn in front of my house now boasts the beginning of a native fern garden and wild flower volunteer plants. Bravo! And thanks!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Neil! It makes our day hearing about how much our customers love our products and the great service they have received from our team. We have passed on your review to our team and look forward to you purchasing from us again.

I am very pleased with my plants. Tammy appreciated my business. Those girls in customer service were not helpful but she answered one day and it all changed. My plants are beautiful too. I bought some moss and it's beautiful this year.

This company is a SCAM. Dead plants, false guarantee, lying customer service - all the attributes to keep your money and give nothing in exchange.
Hi Jack - Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us.

Should you decide to give us another chance, and we sincerely hope you do, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can follow up with you directly‌.
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.

Ordered grass plants. Charged card same day. Grass plants not in stock. Wouldn't answer email to cancel. Called and got third-party agent. Would not cancel order. Shipped grass 14 days after I cancelled. Received dead plants. Will never use again.

Answer: The buy one get one offer they ran. It was a Hugh mistake. I regret wasting my money!
Answer: We are sorry you feel that way. Our website includes automated tools to help answer common questions quickly, but customers can also reach our support team directly by email, chat, or phone. Many customers find these tools helpful, especially during peak seasons when inquiry volume is high. Regarding warranties, we do honor the coverage that was selected at the time of purchase and apply the same policies fairly to all customers. While some companies include longer warranties in their pricing, we prefer to let customers choose the level of protection that best fits their needs rather than increasing prices for everyone.
Answer: We agree that customer service should come first, and we work hard every day to assist thousands of customers during our busiest seasons. As a family-owned nursery, there are times when order volume, shipping volume, and customer inquiries peak all at once. While we may not always respond as quickly as every customer would like, that does not mean we do not value their business. We appreciate every customer who chooses TN Nursery, and we are continually working to improve communication, response times, and the overall customer experience.
Answer: We appreciate your business and hope you enjoy your trees! – TN Nursery
