Customers are Lovin' it ❤️

Our customer is very excited to tell us about her new shipment of several exciting medicinal herbs that she received from Tennessee Nursery! In her opinion, all the plants are packaged properly as she demonstrates the use of a cold pack for the winterization period that keeps the plants dormant cold. She is camping in the vegetable garden but doesn’t plan on planting them straight away, so they will be safe in her fridge for the time being. From golden rod to other amazing plants, she loves the size and the quality of the plants, and the seedling planting instructions are a big bonus.
