This is the only mail order nursery I could find that offered prickly ash. I decided on the 1-quart size, and I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the plants when they arrived. I was also pleased with how well the plants were packed. All too often I have received plants from other nurseries damaged in the mail. I'm recommending Pine Ridge to my friends. |

I've purchased from them three times in the last year and will definitely be buying more in the future. I initially went to them for pawpaws. While there, discovered that they had service berries. Saw several things I had never seen before, including Southern Wax Myrtle. I went back a month later and all but cleaned them out of the Myrtles, since I had decided to put in a long hedge of them. The last of the Myrtles went in two days before the first snow, as it happened. All but a few survived a very cold winter with no time to get acclimated. The pawpaws look great, and the service berries came through just fine. Once I tasted the service berries, I went back this spring and got more, and some more Myrtles to replace the few killed in the winter. |

I can't say enough good things about this nursery. If you are looking for a good selection of native plants, be sure to get their entertaining and helpful catalog. Their packaging is outstanding in addition to the outstanding quality and prices. |

Positive | MissSherry (5 reviews) | On Nov 25, 2006, MissSherry Wiggins, MS wrote: My 5 1/2 wooded acres were devastated by Hurricane Katrina last August - the clean up and restoration has been overwhelming! Last fall and again this fall, I ordered several times from Pine Ridge Gardens, and I've always been delighted! I believe Mary Ann's trees are bigger even than the ones I get from another mail-order nursery that specializes in natives, and they're always well-packed, moist, vigorous plants! |
Positive | Jewelweed (22 reviews) | On Apr 30, 2006, Jewelweed Arlington, TN wrote: I ordered 4 Jewelweed plants 5/04 which were sent very quickly. However, they did not make it and the owner went beyond the call of duty to make it right. Would definitely recommend this nursery. |
Positive | Davidsan (17 reviews) | On Nov 13, 2005, Davidsan Springfield, IL (Zone 6a) wrote: EXCELLENT service, price, and plant quality. I am very pleased with all aspects of my dealings with Mary Ann and her company. Emails answered at warp speed and that personal touch you like to see... like a good description of what you are buying that is accurate to what you receive. Well boxed and tracking #'s supplied . The shipping price was a bit high in comparison to the plant/ box size/ weight but that was probably because fact that the plants were so inexpensive making the proportion (%) seemed high compared to the plant price but not too bad and with the excellent packing and shipping service well worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.. David |

I ordered an Amelanchier canadensis. The tree arrived healthy and ready to plant. I will update my review next year once the tree has had a chance to grow. |
Positive | shoshana (1 review) | On Jun 27, 2004, shoshana Russellville, AR wrote: I wish to second all the praise above. I have dealt with Mary Ann King for 5 years, visiting her nursery several times a season, and have always found her wonderfully expert and helpful and her plants always, always thrive. Often when I'm paying for my purchases she'll tuck in some free "good customer" plants. She is particularly knowledgeable about plant/bug interactions so if you want to encourage beneficial insects she'll know just what you need. Please visit her website; it's wonderful and full of personality! |

It is tough to find except for the handy little signs that led us from the London, Ark., exit off I-40 to Pine Ridge, and the road becomes rustic, shall we say? |
Positive | peachstate (4 reviews) | On May 25, 2004, peachstate Marietta, GA wrote: Love this place!! My first order this year arrived in great condition. They are packing pros along with great growers! Shipping dates were honored and I received a complimentary plant new to their nursery--bloomed already and ALL plants are doing great. Have just e-mailed them a second order-they contacted me barely 24 hrs later and informed me my plants were on their way! Have no doubts I'll be just as pleased with this transaction. Trust them!! |

Positive | Coolplanter (4 reviews) | On Jun 12, 2003, Coolplanter Fayetteville, AR (Zone 6b) wrote: If you are driving through Arkansas, stopping at this nursery is a wonderful time, so call ahead to see if she'll be available. Mary Ann is very knowledgeable--buy an umbrella magnolia. |
Positive | Chilloway (2 reviews) | On Feb 28, 2003, Chilloway Ronkonkoma, NY wrote: I ordered from Pineridge because of the recommendations from garden watchdog and also the forum chats on garden web. I literally drove Mary Ann crazy because I didn't know what I was talking about in my quest to start a wildlife garden. She was without question - the most helpful, honest, informed and patient person I ever met. She was also true to her word and remembered to find info for me. I was not treated like a customer but a valued friend. Plants will arrive in April but I have no doubts they will be wonderful. Great prices, too. On April 12th, 2003, DebbieJ1 added the following: Rec'd order on 4/11/03. I was amazed. Plants were packed so well and were so beautiful and healthy. I have never rec'd any order from any nursery that has even compared to this. So happy that I found this place !! |

Positive | Kelly333 (16 reviews) | On Jun 20, 2002, Kelly333 Longview, TX wrote: All I can say is GO there. You won't be sorry. It's about a 6 hour trip for me. I was in plant heaven. If you love natives...it is a "must see", or mail order from. I was amazed at all the natives this company has. The owner has very healthy plants, and is a delight to do business with. I will be a repeat customer! AAA+++ |
