Located just west of downtown Jackson, Tennessee, many who work downtown go here to de-stress on their lunch breaks. Quality of plants is unparalleled and only the freshest plants are on display in the nearly pristine greenhouses. Easy to shop as shade plants are in a separate wing from the sun plants. Annuals, perennials, herbs, containers, decor items, hanging baskets, jumbo ferns including Rita's personal discovery "Rita's Gold". Staff is helpful and knowledgeable, prices are reasonable and the education is FREE! Enthusiasm abounds. You will love this place! Be sure to think of Mother's Day because a week or two prior is the peak of the season to visit but don't wait to visit as stock changes continuously with what is blooming right NOW. Will create custom planting designs for your pots, hay racks or whatever, just drop them off and they will plant and have them ready for you. Also cash and carry if you need a quick gift. Easily found just off I-40, ya gotta go. You will be glad you did. |

I now live about an hour from there but still go there 4-5 times a season ( at least) When I am stressed at home , instead of going to the Mall , like some women do.. I go here!! |

She has a nice variety of unusual plants. I called last year to purchase a gift certificate for someone who was going to visit there. The amount was small but the service was not. Bring your camera because you will want to have photos the beautiful container combinations and whimsical creations. She instructs smalll one on one classes in hypertufa, freehand concrete creations, and container gardening. |

They have such nice variety that you will find at least one plant that you must have. Make certain you get a Rita's Gold fern; you will be the envy of all your friends. |

I came home with a trunk full of plants and Rita even helped me choose plants for a water garden I'm planning. What a fun day! |

It was a 3 hour drive for me but very well worth it. I wasn't dissappointed in the least. They have a plant for everybody there. You'll need plenty of time as this place is nice sized. Decent prices, and very friendly helpful folks there. |

Be sure and go in a truck and carry lots of money and credit cards, you can't leave there without finding something special On February 25th, 2010, slcdms added the following: Still a 5 star place, Randolph's nursery is worth a week end trip if you are not close. This year I have a friend driving up from LA to go to see Rita, now that is a long way to go to visit a greenhouse, you are missing out if you don't try to visit sometime this spring. You will be glad you did. On May 24th, 2011, slcdms added the following: Still one of my very favorite places to shop You are always treated like you are the only person there, no matter how busy they are. |

She is a very dedicated owner. Her and her husband run it with most of the workers as volunteers like you and me that trade time for plants. She has several greenhouses out back that she don't mind you walking thru just in case they don't have it out front. And don't forget to visit her nice koi pond out to the side. She has alot of wisdom for any of those that can grab her attention. Please visit her website - she is an outstanding lady. On February 25th, 2010, n2birds added the following: Best place in the world for container gardening ! We frequent this nursery at least twice a season and wish we could do more. I never leave this nursery with an open vacant spot left in my trunk or truck. Love, love, this nursery ! Need I say more!? Drive 100 miles to visit it - and would drive further if I had to. |
