Long Hollow Nursery

Long Hollow has a small staff, but it is an expert staff. This is not a box store where you run in, grab some plants, and risk receiving inaccurate advice from untrained and/​or unknowledgable sales persons. During peak hours (especially Saturdays) there may be a wait for personalized attention, but it’s worth it.

Wow, we had the exact opposite experience as the other posters. We went on a Saturday afternoon. We were looking for 4 or 5 trees and to plant bushes along a 100 foot fenceline.
We could not find anyone to help us. We walked around for 20 minutes while the young man looked for someone to help us. When that didn’t work out we went inside and a older women asked if she could help us. This is where things really went to compost.
She had no interest in answering our questions, even less in actually showing us what the shrubs look like. When asked to clarify what a particular specimen looked like she said «the big green pine shaped one». When we asked about a tree we wanted, she erroneously told us they were not allowed to sell them, and then treated us to her own personal rant about the government invading our lives. That’s when we decided to leave.
We really wanted to buy from there just because of the delivery and planting service, but after that experience, it’s going to be really hard to give them our money.

Hartley and his team are the classiest act anywhere. First, the selection is unrivaled in Middle Tennessee. Second, their prices are at virtually direct grower discounts. Most importantly, the service and care they give to their customers goes way beyond the normal expectations. When you call, visit or work with them, they truly make you feel like a dear family member. This is the kind of business we need to survive and THRIVE in our area. Extra bonus: There’s a great playground for the kiddos!
