The Barn Nursery

DISNEYLAND FOR PLANTS!
This place is beyond huge. It is like a small city dedicated to all things related to gardening. If you can’t find it here, it probably does not exist. This is the place that you need to visit early in the morning before it gets to hot. We were there in the afternoon when it was very hot so we were miserable and did not stay very long. We were looking to possibly purchase a large pot for a tree but the base prices seemed a bit inflated so the sale price just wasn’t relevant.
Also, on closer examination, I noticed that some of the planters had been damaged because they are stored outside, on top of each other and in close proximity without any protective barriers. I am very particular and if I am going to purchase a planter, it will need to be in pristine condition.
The real value in shopping here is just being able to take advantage of the great selection of plants, pots and garden décor. The plant prices were really nice and there were different types of plants that you would not necessarily see in a a Home Depot or Lowes. Everything is nicely organized and labeled and I found the employees more than willing to provide assistance and direction.
If you are landscaping large spaces and needing a great deal of options, this is your store. On this weekend, visitors were invited to bring in photos and measurements to get free advice about their gardening projects. I thought this was a great service.
I was really thrown off by the gift shop that just sort of popped up as I was transitioning from the annuals to the perennials. The shop actually had t-​shirts and other items but I did not have time to fully explore the contents. Just a bit of information in case you’re wondering.
If you are going to go, go very early and make sure you have a list or a firm idea of the specific types of plants or landscaping supplies you need so that you can use your time more efficiently and not feel overwhelmed. Good Luck!

Well it was the first time I have gone to the BN. I am not a garden person but went with a friend that has greenhouses up north. The place is huge and has lots of plants, pottery and pretty much anything related to plants and gardening. They apparently remodeled and they have lots of cute thingys like signs you can put in your house or garden, gnomes, theme type gifts and other unique items. They have plenty of off street parking and it is located right off Hwy 24. It was a little hard to find but with GPS, I succeeded.
The people were really friendly and helpful. My friend has a business so was able to get 20% off the entire order, which they do for businesses and also tax exempt if you have your business number. I guess the prices are good but quite honestly, I don’t know but they must be OK because the place has been around a very long time and is big. They also have a Patio shop, which I did not see.
I did purchase a Bonsai plant for my future (I hope son in law). The salesperson told me they have free workshops and are having one on Bonsai plants in a couple of weeks.
Anyway, without knowing much at all about this subject, I have to give it a 4+ because of the service and the quantity and quality of the merchandise.

Closed Sundays in January & February.
I wasn’t going to say any more, but because my review was too short, it was only going to be added as a tip.
I came on a Sunday & saw at least 3 other cars turn around disappointed.
I didn’t want people to waste a trip.

I was a little bummed the other day when I couldn’t quite make it up to Signal Mountain Nursery before close, but I figured I really needed to get some things done around the house, so I would go to The Barn Nursery. With the awesome, friendly service we received and the selection, I no longer feel like we were making a compromise.
While I still love the location and atmosphere up on Signal, I have to say the Barn has done such a great job, and they have a great selection of pottery since they also have a giant pottery store right next door.
Their home décor is not my style, but if you’re looking for signs and things to hang up around the garden or in the boat house, they have some with local towns and sayings like «Welcome to the Lake.»
I found a beautiful and affordable fig tree, a nice bushy rosemary, some assorted house plants, and of course some topsoil and rooting powder. All in all a job well done. And they were open!

While traveling from Michigan to Florida we ALWAYS make it a point to stop at the Barn Nursery and most times have to repack the car so we can take home all the beautiful planter pots that we have purchased at an unbelievable price. It is by the far the best nursery we have ever been to. PLUS all the employees are so helpful. One can tell the employees are treated well and like their jobs.

Been here numerous times in the past year getting plants and scrubs for my house. I like this place over others I have visited between Cleveland and Chatt. A really large selection for a place landlocked down town. I am guessing they have a farm or another place to bring in fresh plants
Not just plants here as they have most anything else you will need to work on your garden or just dress up your place or entrances.

Have to amend my review from almost a year ago to say that this is probably overall the best retail establishment in Chattanooga of any kind. We were there for their Christmas open house over the weekend, and it was awesome. They attract customers from all over the east side of the Mississippi. Great selection of plants and flowers, very knowledgeable staff, fantastic gift area. Could not recommend a place any higher.

The best gardening supply story and nursery I’ve ever been in! I love in Nashville and am sad this place is so far away as I would spend all my free time here if I lived in Chattanooga. They have absolutely everything you need for gardening, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and my toddler even broke a small ceramic egg and when I went up to pay for it, they told me not to worry about it! The entire place was amazing! Huge and beautiful… and free coffee! Extremely impressed and will definitely return the next time I’m in Chattanooga!

I am thrilled with this place. They have a great selection and a very friendly staff. This is the go to place in Chattanooga for all of your landscaping needs. They also have very inexpensive delivery services.
