TN Nursery | America’s Trusted Native Plant & Tree Supplier

Why TN Nursery Is America’s Trusted Source for Native Plants

For more than 65 years, TN Nursery has earned its place as one of America’s most trusted native plant nurseries. Founded in the heart of Tennessee’s nursery capital, the company has grown from a small family business into a nationally recognized leader in sustainable, bare-root plant production, with deep horticultural roots, hands-on field experience, and a long history of supplying major institutions like Universities, Governmental Agencies, Boyscouts and many more proves we have the expertise and novice in expert horticulture experience.

Experience: Decades of Growing, Digging, and Shipping Plants Nationwide

Every plant that leaves TN Nursery begins its life in the rich soils of Middle Tennessee, where generations of growers have refined the craft of cultivating hardy, field-grown natives. Unlike resellers who outsource production, TN Nursery grows, harvests, and packs its own plants, providing customers with direct access to professionally grown, farm-fresh stock. This lived experience is evident in the quality: strong roots, healthy crowns, and consistent survival rates that homeowners rely on.

Expertise: Horticultural Knowledge Built Over Generations

TN Nursery’s team includes skilled growers with decades of hands-on horticultural and ecological knowledge. This expertise shapes every stage of production—from seed stratification and propagation to dormancy care and eco-friendly cultivation. The nursery specializes in native plants, erosion-control species, pollinator plants, wetland restoration species, and rare woodland varieties. With tens of thousands of customers served yearly, the staff provides real guidance rooted in practical horticultural knowledge—not generic advice.

Authoritativeness: Trusted by Iconic Institutions and Restoration Professionals

Few nurseries can claim the credibility TN Nursery has built. Its plants have been supplied to and planted at Arlington National Cemetery, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian affiliates, the History Channel, and large-scale restoration projects across the United States. This industry trust is reinforced by decades of positive customer reviews, a strong online presence, and long-standing relationships with conservationists, contractors, and environmental professionals.

Trustworthiness: Honest Pricing, Fresh-Dug Plants, and Transparent Policies

TN Nursery has cultivated trust by staying true to its mission: providing high-quality, affordable native plants that restore America’s landscapes. Plants are dug fresh to order, shipped securely in eco-friendly packaging, and backed with clear planting instructions and helpful customer support. The nursery’s competitive pricing, generous BOGO offers, and transparent seasonal shipping information ensure customers always know what to expect.
