After losing a 100-year-old tree in October, we decided to seriously redo our front yard. My husband found Nearly Native and was so happy with their selection, help and service that he sent me there. Jim asked good questions about our needs and wants and then worked with us to draw up a new design for our front yard that uses all native plants to provide beauty, shade and food for local birds. When we ordered, everything was carefully and promptly shipped, and they were there to answer every question. When they ran out of a particular plant, they sent one from their own stock. |

I bought the large, healthy shrubs I had intended to buy and received expert advice for the shrubs I need for another area. Jim gave me a great tour of the property and I got so many ideas for my own garden. |

Quick response with detailed info. Shipped on time and planted that day. Freight charges were less than anticipated. |

A Nearly Native Nursery had them! Received my three trees perfectly packed and they were planted on the full moon! Excellent service and I will be buying from them again. Thanks Nearly Native!

Positive | GrtGrandms (1 review) | On Nov 17, 2013, GrtGrandms Newton, NC wrote: After inquiring about plants via e-mail, which was answered promptly, I telephoned to order on a day they were closed, but I left my name and number. My call was returned, I placed my order and had a nice chat with Jim about some native plants I'm missing in my current location. He shipped the plants the very next morning, and they arrived via FedEx yesterday. Hubby and I got them into the ground, watered, and mulched, and I'm looking forward to new growth in the spring. The plants were actually taped to the inside of the shipping box so as not to shift around, but this did make for some work in getting them out. Now if I were living where I owned the land and had more space, you can bet I would be ordering more "goodies" from A Nearly Native Nursery. Highly recommended. |

Very polite communications, very knowledgeable answers and the feeling that they're there to help. I think I would call them first when I need a particular plant. Excellent service! |
Positive | 718wpdl (1 review) | On Nov 14, 2013, 718wpdl Decatur, GA wrote: Well worth the drive (from Decatur). Were looking for a particular big leaf magnolia and ended up with it and one more to try plus a couple native azaleas we had not tried yet. Jim took much time showing off his trees and plants. Wonderful to see many of his full grown trees to get an idea of where to put them in our own space. Very knowledgable and passionate about native plants. We will be back with a longer list next time. |

Since it was a pretty good-sized order, they had assembled it beforehand. The quality of the plants, as always, was top notch. NNN is a wonderful source for native plants -- and the knowledge to go with them to make a better garden. Thank you, Debi and Jim! |
Positive | kordwood (1 review) | On Nov 10, 2013, kordwood Huntington, IN wrote: I have dealt with nearly native twice now and the experiences have been great! They are very knowledgable and very professional. I have ordered trees from other online nurseries before and the quality from nearly native is above and beyond anything I have received before. I will be using nearly native any time I want good quality trees at a good price. |
Positive | susanabrz (1 review) | On Nov 2, 2013, susanabrz Mableton, GA wrote: Two friends and I drove over an hour to visit the Nearly Native Nursery in Fayetteville, GA. We purchased three trees and some ground cover. We were all blown away by Jim's knowledge. He spent about an hour and a half with us. He showed us growing examples and discussed pro's and con's of each. I have already highly recommended his nursery to three friends and my entire HOA. My friends and I have discussed returning in the spring for more native goodies. If you don't visit this nursery you are missing out on some great plants and knowledge! |
Positive | eswhiten (1 review) | On Oct 28, 2013, eswhiten Fayetteville, GA wrote: My husband and I were looking for "privacy plants", but wanted something a little more interesting than box hedges. The owner and his wife not only spent an hour educating us on the different options available and the care required for each; they made us feel as welcome as old friends. We went home with a trunk full of beautiful species, and they look amazing in our yard! We will definitely be regulars here! |

Gina and I were there to pick out some trees to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. Visiting Jim & Debi feels like dropping in on old friends. We learn, talk and wander the garden picking up great ideas. We always come home with some really fantastic plants that we can't wait to get established in our own garden. Thanks for helping us go native and have a great time doing it! |
Positive | scrubwren (1 review) | On Oct 17, 2013, scrubwren Bethpage, TN wrote: I ordered two different dogwoods that I was unable to find anywhere else. The trees just arrived. First I received an email from Debi at Nearly Native confirming whether shipping now would suit me. Very friendly correspondence and I appreciated the heads-up the trees were coming. They were very well packed, & arrived via fedex. I assumed they'd be bare-root, but instead they came with a lot of soil around the roots. Everything looked very healthy and the trees are good size. Will definitely buy again from them! great selection! |

I was so glad I found this place! Not only did I find my plant but I had a great time. Jim and Debi are absolutely wonderful! They really know their stuff and are the most helpful people you could ask for. I will definitely tell others about their nursery and I will make more trips in the future! |
Positive | DebbieDew (1 review) | On Sep 4, 2013, DebbieDew Arnoldsville, GA wrote: Jim was very helpful with the plant selection process. I was looking for a specific holly - Yaupon Holly - and he had it in stock! The price was good and Jim was able to advise us on the best planting location and soil characteristics. We also purchased an Oglethorpe Oak which was great considering that is our home county. My husband added a "George Peabody" Thuja to the mix! Debi also introduced us to their friendly Macaws. Thanks for being so helpful and flexible with the late night pickup as well! Debbie and Bill Cosgrove Arnoldsville, GA |
Positive | robertatilson (1 review) | On Aug 19, 2013, robertatilson Landrum, SC wrote: Debi and Jim are fabulous! I'm a professional gardener in the foothills of the western Carolinas and I had a difficult project going. The site was uncompacted fill with a difficult exposure. The homeowners wanted native plants, including a devilwood tree, at the end of the season, literally. Not only did Debi stay in close contact concerning what stock was available, she also had great subsitutes ready to go. Since it was too late to ship, we had to drive to Fayetteville through Atlanta (don't rely on google maps)and became incredibly lost. Debi stayed with us on the phone while we backtracked, and when we arrived she had everything ready, including cold drinks for us. Jim potted plants for us as we loaded, and they even gave us a reemay blanket for transporting the plants home safely. I feel like I made new friends, and I recommend them highly. |

Jim and Deb spend time listening and then discussing your specific needs. The plant selection is great and I never leave without a good idea of what to plant , how to care for it and where to plant it. I have been pleased with every plant I have purchased and look forward to moving to more Native plants on my property. |
Positive | Rollandh (13 reviews) | On Jun 1, 2013, Rollandh Wilmington, NC wrote: Posted on October 17, 2011, updated June 1, 2013 On June 1st, 2013, Rollandh added the following: I recently purchased two plants, a styrax Americanus and an itea sandlewood. Both plants are doing great. I really lucked-out with the styrax, it is not a very easily obtainable plant and I had previous ordered a couple from Mail Order Nursery that were smallish, so I decide I'd get one more from Nearly Native as they were supposed to have a 3 gallon. Well it turned they had only 5 gallon specimens which they offered me at the same price as the three. The sandlewood itea intrigued me as I have a lot of the more commonly available iteas but wanted something different. The plants were in great shape and have adapted fine to their new surroundings. I have only ordered 4 plants in total from Nearly Native but each plant is of the highest quality at a very reasonable price. The two trees I ordered a year and a half ago are very healthy and are ready to leap into fuller sizes.I think I have bias about be able to place orders online and just let the system do its thing and miraculously see the plants arrive in a few days. With Nearly Native, well you have to call order or send in a form by mail so this has been something of a drawback for me up until now. It has been a pleasure to speak to the owners who give you all the attention that you want. I would say also that their selection is truly the most "native" that I've seen and also very comprehensive. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is getting into planting native plants. |

Positive | Charlesinsc (3 reviews) | On May 2, 2013, Charlesinsc Chapin, SC wrote: Well, I'll be honest. I've ordered from several very good companies. This one was has surpassed them all. Best looking healthy plants I've received. Best root systems I've ever received. I'm tired from getting the 3 shrubs and 2 trees unpacked. They were in no danger of getting damaged during shipping. Very pleasant experience, just like one hopes for. Nice people to deal with. Now I'm excited to order again. |

Positive | klbray (1 review) | On Apr 23, 2013, klbray Atlanta, GA wrote: One of the best nursery I have ever visited. Incredible selection, helpful, detailed instructions. The owners are passionate about their plants and in teaching you about the plants, how to care for them and even how to propagate them. They cared about the garden I wanted to create and offered to find the varieties I was missing. I love that they are helping to re-populate endangered plants and native varieties. One of the best ways to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon is a visit to this nursery. |
