Notable Projects

When Trump Plaza in New York City needed trees that could withstand the scrutiny of one of the most recognizable addresses in the world, TN Nursery was the call they made. The stock shipped from Tennessee to New York City, a 14-hour haul by semi, and arrived in the kind of condition that earns repeat business.

Sometimes the simplest review says the most.

Deadlines in television production aren't suggestions. When a Discovery Channel wildlife production team needed deciduous trees shipped to Arizona for time-lapse filming of bud opening, they reached out to TN Nursery under serious time pressure, after frustrating experiences with previous suppliers.

Tammy at TN Nursery not only understood exactly what species would work for the shot, she got them there on time and in excellent condition, ready for cameras the moment they arrived. It's the kind of end-to-end problem-solving that turns a one-time order into a long-term relationship.

The Battery Conservancy manages five acres of perennial gardens at 1 New York Plaza, a historically significant green space at the southern tip of Manhattan. Sigrid Gray, the Conservancy's Director of Horticulture, has relied on TN Nursery for the naturalization plant stock that keeps those gardens alive and thriving.

Her assessment: the plants are healthy, well-sized, and exactly as described. For a space that millions of people walk through each year, that kind of consistency matters.

Even Swamp People star Troy Landry, one of the History Channel's most recognizable personalities, keeps it simple when it comes to plants: he and his wife buy from Tennessee Nursery. Always have. It's a quiet endorsement, but it's a real one, from someone who has spent his life outdoors and knows the difference between plants that thrive and plants that don't.

When the horticulture team at Sedgwick County Zoo needed Aralia spinosa in quality condition without paying a fortune in shipping, they turned to TN Nursery's bare-root stock. The plants arrived Tuesday morning, ordered Saturday evening, to a customer in Kansas. No fuss, no delays.

TN Nursery has supplied plant materials in support of NASA facilities, contributing native and ecologically appropriate plants to one of the most carefully managed institutional landscapes in the country. It's a quiet point of pride for a nursery that has never had to chase prestige. The work speaks.

The grounds surrounding the Washington Monument require plants that can withstand scrutiny from millions of annual visitors, the demands of the National Park Service, and the particular soil and climate conditions of the Washington, D.C. area. TN Nursery has supplied plant materials to support those grounds, a distinction that reflects decades of trust in the nursery's quality and consistency.

Few landscapes in America carry more weight than Arlington National Cemetery. The plants that grow there are part of a setting that honors the fallen. TN Nursery has been trusted to supply plant materials to Arlington, a responsibility the family-owned team takes seriously in a way that's difficult to put into words, but easy to understand.

TN Nursery has contributed plants to restoration and memorial efforts at the September 11th crash sites, an honor that goes beyond business. These are sacred spaces, and being chosen to contribute to them reflects the kind of trust that only a nursery with an unimpeachable track record for quality and reliability could earn. It's perhaps the most meaningful line on an already impressive list.
