Positive | Mr_ed2u (2 reviews) | On Jun 24, 2010, Mr_ed2u Fair Haven, MI wrote: I ordered Caroline raspberry and a blue berry plant from them this spring. The raspberries were all decent size and grew well. The blueberry was a runt, but was shipped well and dormant. It is growing well…but would have wished for a larger plant |

The rhubarb is fantastic. I placed another order just a few weeks ago and was worried that it would be too late to ship, but the plants arrived 10 days later in great condition. |
Positive | LlynW (3 reviews) | On Jun 2, 2010, LlynW Madison, WI wrote: I ordered five of each of three different raspberry plants from the company's excellent website. The process was flawless and I was updated via email when my order was placed, packed, and shipped. The plants arrived quickly, were well-packaged and exactly what I ordered, large, healthy, and came with clear planting instructions. Every plant is growing beautifully so far in my newly established bed--my plants look better than my neighbor's, and she's been growing for years. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. |
Positive | SoutheastIndy (16 reviews) | On May 23, 2010, SoutheastIndy Indianapolis, IN wrote: I made a first order from Nourse and ordered 25 Nova Red Raspberry Plants. The plants were huge and I even had to plant some in three gallon nursery pots because of the roots being so big. Overall a good first experience and would buy raspberry plants from them again. |

Positive | Allie88 (6 reviews) | On May 10, 2010, Allie88 Palmyra, PA (Zone 6a) wrote: I think this was the best experience I have had with a mail order company that sells live plants. I ordered strawberries, raspberries, and a gooseberry bush. All came looking healthy and alive. They even threw in an extra strawberry plant. I planted them several weeks ago and all are thriving. They look great! I will definitely order from this company again. I only wish they sold perennials and shrubs! |
Positive | TNsloth (1 review) | On May 6, 2010, TNsloth Decherd, TN wrote: My first order based on a friend's recommendation, received order last week. Purple asparagus roots are HUGE, largest I've seen (Gurney's roots can't compare-my previous supplier). Very fresh, wet the roots and 3 days later they started to grow! No other place to buy asparagus if you want one of their limited varieties-period. 5 Ouchita blackberry plants very short, 6-8 inch sticks, but very nice root systems. Roots 12+ inches long. One Chandler blueberrry plant-average size (what I expected-18 inches tall) with nice root system compared to other vendors. This company deserves it's good reputation based on my experience. Excellent plants, good prices and accurate shipping as scheduled. |

I have had tremendous success with their Blueberries, Raspberries and Strawberries. I have now moved and have another order in this year and look forward to starting my gardens up again. |

Positive | luxor68 (7 reviews) | On Mar 10, 2010, luxor68 Decatur, TN wrote: Ok, just received my 1st order from these folks. I orderd 25 strawberries, 4 gooseberies, 6 currants, 25 blackberries, & 10 raspberries. The raspberries (Royalty) were a bit puny. The rest of the plants were quite big & healthy, however. I was impressed with the currants & Kiowa blackberries especially. The only complaint is that putting all those out on Sunday was backbreaking work, but I suppose that's MY fault, eh? :-) --Jimmy |

Positive | dirtygum (3 reviews) | On Jan 31, 2010, dirtygum High Bridge, WI wrote: I ordered Caroline and Taylor raspberries along with L'amour and Northeaster strawberries. Everything was packaged beautifully, shipping is reasonable, and the Plants were wonderful. I can't say enough good things about this nursery. All the plants thrived, and overwintered without any problems. The berries are more delicious than described!! Great company. |

Positive | livefreeordie (4 reviews) | On Jun 8, 2009, livefreeordie Yeagertown, PA wrote: My top pick for Brambles and Ribes, they are the fastest to ship, best quality I have ever seen, great prices, better order early, word is out on how good they are, you can expect them to be sold out early every year. Great communication, wish every company were like them. |

Plants in excellent shape upon arrival and have responded better than expected when planted. I will continue to utilize this company for my gardening needs and have recommended my grown children to do likewise. |
Positive | wulfpak (3 reviews) | On May 13, 2009, wulfpak Nebraska City, NE wrote: I ordered 50 asparagus roots. They arrived when promised, in great shape and were HUGE. ALL of them grew. Also, their planting guide is helpful and informative for many varieties of plants. I wished I would have ordered strawberries from them before they sold out of most varieties. |

All have been good sized, healthy plants that perform well. Their planting guide is an excellent help, especially when growing plants that are new to you. |
Positive | NtheWoods (5 reviews) | On Apr 29, 2009, NtheWoods (Zone 5b) wrote: I ordered from Nourse for the first time last season. I wanted to wait a full year before rating them. Ordered Rhubarb, Strawberries, and Blueberries. The order process was easy on line. The plants arrived at the requested time and looked fantastic. They are now one year old and look great. The blueberries are bigger and more vigorous than plants we ordered from another nursery a whole year before. Would order from them again. |

Positive | gfm (13 reviews) | On Apr 15, 2009, gfm Melrose, MA wrote: I just wish I had a bigger yard so I could order more from Nourse. I ordered 8 blueberry bushes and they all arrived in amazing condition. These were some of the healthiest bare root plants I have ever seen. Communication from the company was excellent and they responded quickly on the 2 occasions when I needed to contact them. I would highly recommend them as the first place to go for berries. |

Great customer service and some of the healthiest bare roots I have seen. I placed a group order that consisted of almost 700 raspberries, 100 horseradish, 50 asparagus, and three current bushes. There were plenty of extras. Everyone that went in on the order has been very pleased. |
Positive | gardenkeeper1 (6 reviews) | On Mar 30, 2009, gardenkeeper1 Palatine Bridge, NY wrote: I have purchased from Nourse Farms for the last three years. I have been extremely pleased with everything I've ordered. I ordered 3 blueberry bushes, 10 raspberries, and 2 varieties of strawberries. Everything is thriving in my garden. Customer Service is A++. I'll be ordering Asparagus next year. Just a word of caution, if you want to order something, don't wait. They often sell out of their popular varieties. Order early to get the selection you want. |
Positive | kxa132 (1 review) | On Mar 16, 2009, kxa132 Madison Heights, VA wrote: I ordered the strawberry collection and those were the most amazing and vigourous plants. They had very thick roots and green plants. I planted according to the directions and in the first season, the plants were HUGE with runners everywhere and even produced a few berries. Unfortunately, we moved unexpectedly before the 2nd season when they would have produced for us. But I would still reccommend this company for the quality stock. |
Positive | Zeppy (8 reviews) | On Mar 1, 2009, Zeppy Shenandoah Valley, VA (Zone 6b) wrote: I ordered 25 asparagus for our home garden. I have NO experience with asparagus, but followed their instructions. Every single one survived, and they look about ten times thicker and hardier than asparagus I see in other gardens. Very pleased! |

Positive | birchoil (6 reviews) | On Jun 26, 2008, birchoil Ashburnham, MA wrote: I ordered 5 varieties raspberries, 2 varieties blackberries, 4 varieties strawberries, 3 rhubarb, 4 blueberry. I later changed the shipping date. On October 22nd, 2008, birchoil changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following: Since my last post I have had poor service from Nourse Farms. I had a number of raspberries with what I believed was anthracnose disease. On Sept 15 I emailed them photos of the plants as well as mentioning that one on the Anne raspberry plants they sent me did not ever show signs of life. Now over one month later (Oct. 22) and 4 or 5 emails and one phone call later I stilll have not gotten a response as to the problem with the raspberries. I will order from them again yet I'm very unhappy with their poor customer service in this case. On November 4th, 2008, birchoil changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: Nourse Farms cleared up the problem we were having in communication. Apparently, they had not received any of my emails after the first one (possibly too many photos attached). They phoned me and were very helpful in diagnosing the raspberry problem (the raspberries do not have anthracnose). |
Positive | Imred (3 reviews) | On Jun 16, 2008, Imred Anna, IL wrote: I have ordered berry plants many times in the past. After reading Nourse's reviews here at Dave's Garden I decided to order from them. I ordered strawberries, blackberries, red, black & purple raspberries. They were the finest, most vigorous plants with the best root system I have ever received. Thus far all have lived and are growing strongly. I will never order any plant Nourse carries from anyone else. They are the best. |

I planted the rhubarb immediately and to my surprise,I had shoots coming up within a week. Happy to have found this company and will certainly be a repeat customer! |
Positive | Catssdawg2 (5 reviews) | On Jun 14, 2008, Catssdawg2 Whitesboro, TX wrote: This is a remarkable company to order from! Great selction,great shipping,excellent plants. Ordered 25 Jewel strawberries they arrived with nice long roots & cool packet of gel for rooting them in & the best hand guide I've seen for planting & caring for them. All plants have rooted & even tried producing berries within 3 weeks of planting (killed me to pinch them off but better for next year's crop). Would not hestiate to recommend this company to everyone for their berry needs. Like them so much I'm planning on getting more strawberries,blackberries & may even try the blueberries(those are kinda tricky here in Texas)from them next year. Oh & check out the comparsion chart in each section - you'll find what you want & can grow. Wish all gardening sites where set up & run like this one! |

I ordered 50 Sparkle strawberries, 50 Earliglow and 5 horseradish roots for shipment on 5/12. I received the order on 5/13. All the crowns looked good but it became obvious after a week that 8 of the Earliglow weren't going to break dormancy as all the others had done. I emailed the company on 5/20 stating, |
