Verified reviews and the story behind America's most reputable plant nursery, growing native plants in Tennessee since 1959.
here's a particular kind of trust that only gets built one plant at a time. TN Nursery, headquartered in Altamont, Tennessee and operating since 1959, has spent more than six decades earning exactly that. What started as a modest family operation with a couple of acres and hand-plowed, mule-drawn fields has grown into one of the most respected wholesale and mail-order plant nurseries in the United States.
TN Nursery Reviews is a platform for the voices of customers, landscapers, conservationists, and institutions who have worked with TN Nursery firsthand. From backyard gardeners in Arizona who couldn't believe how quickly their ferns took root, to the horticulture teams behind some of the nation's most iconic landmarks, the feedback tells a consistent story: quality plants, honest service, and a family that genuinely cares about the land.

Below typical retail
Founded in 1959 in Altamont, TN, TN Nursery is a family-owned leader in sustainable gardening and native plant cultivation with over 65 years of nursery expertise. Three generations deep, the nursery has never lost the hands-on sensibility that made it what it is, even as the operation scaled to more than 3,200 acres of growing stock.
Native plants, trees, shrubs, perennials, ferns, wetland species, wildflowers, bare-root stock, and B&B trees.
Homeowners, master gardeners, landscapers, conservation organizations, and major national institutions.
Nationwide mail-order shipping. USPS for smaller orders with 3 to 5 day delivery, and common carrier semi for large wholesale orders.
Wholesale-level pricing available to everyone, consistently 50% or more below typical retail nurseries and garden centers.
What makes TN Nursery different is that they grow what they sell. Their connection from soil to shipment translates to tighter quality control, fresher root systems, and plants that actually thrive in their new homes.

"TN Nursery has been one rewarding experience. The ferns I receive from them appear to be growing in my hands, fresh fronds attached. I get great satisfaction and repeat sales from my clients. Thanks, TNN!"
- Sylvia Butler
Retail Nursery Owner
"You outdid yourselves again, sending bigger, better trees than we expected. Over 200 people came from all over the New River Valley to adopt one, some waiting in line for 45 minutes. Over and over again, people commented on how healthy the trees looked and their large, robust root systems. I am grateful to have TN Nursery as our partner in this memorial to our Mama."
- Joanna Angle
Lee's Trees Memorial Project, Southwest Virginia
"Everything we have received is alive and doing well in Battery's five acres of perennial gardens. The stock was as advertised, healthy and good-sized."
- Sigrid Gray
Director of Horticulture, The Battery Conservancy, New York, NY
