I'm working on having a pollinator garden and have some issues with deer, rabbits and sometimes groundhogs. The owner was able to steer me in the direction of deer and rabbit resistant plants that are also attractive to pollinators of all kinds. All the plants I bought are in my garden and thriving! The prices are good too, and I look forward to going back for more! I highly recommend this locally owned nursery for gardeners of all stages of expertise.

Color Orchids was our second stop on this year's "Culpeper Harvest Days Farm Tour" Saturday. Who…read moreknew that there was a wholesale greenhouse orchid operation right here in Culpeper County? Not us. This was their first year on the tour. From the outside it just looks like your everyday large industrial building, but taking the tour (which ran every hour or so) & passing through the doors into the greenhouses - wow! Two acres of Phalaenopsis orchids in all stages of growth & bloom! The woman giving the tour was very knowledgeable & definitely seemed to enjoy her job/work. In just 7 years, Color Orchids is now one of the largest orchid growers in the United States. Their plants are sold in supermarkets, big-box stores, florists, & even on Amazon. The young plants are initially grown in Taiwan where the growing conditions are perfect for that stage of growth in quantity, then the young plants are shipped to Culpeper where they are grown on until bloom size. While we were there we got to see workers grading (& sometimes tossing) plants for quality along a large conveyor belt, & also got to see the workings of the climate-control system & a few of their patented Phalaenopsis varieties. The tour/talk was very interesting, & they also had a small display of miniature orchids for sale, as well as a raffle going on to win a large planter with around half a dozen Phalaenopsis. (Although I bought six tickets (6/$5), I haven't heard yet so someone else must've walked off with that prize - boo hoo!) Very unfortunately they do not sell to the public from the greenhouse - they are wholesale only except for during the tour. Bottom Line: This was a very interesting & new spot on the farm tour, & if they participate again in future years, we'll visit again.

This is a beautiful nursery! They had a wonderful selection of plants. I will definitely be back!!read more

One of the coolest things they have are "treadable" plants for stepping stones. Some varieties were thyme and mint, and others seemed to be succulent-style to not smash under food, while there are blooming types as well. They have a great variety of shrubs, flowers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Looks like they are getting deliveries often as the weather is warming up enough to start planting. Proprietor was kind and helpful as well.

Mineral, VA. July, 2025. Hidden Pond Farm is a hidden gem in a rural area near Lake Anna. This…read moreVeteran-owned flower farm is dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds for farmed animal sanctuaries. Growing over 70 varieties of beautiful, seasonal flowers nestled in 3 acres (and growing) of gardens to explore, the farm welcomes guests to pick their own flowers, attend flower-inspired events and workshops, learn how to create their own cut-flower garden, or just enjoy the gardens (and pond!). They also have a pop-up flower truck available to rent for your special event. We recently hosted a group (from California, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Nepal) in our Louisa County home to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our daughter called the farm to ensure that they were open for visitors and off we went. Our visit to Hidden Pond Farm was a double-win -- allowing a fun, pick-your-own flowers family activity AND providing beautiful floral decorations for the party. We came back with five bouquets (@ $10 each), a real bargain for the beautiful flowers and the fun activity. Even a 2-year old enjoyed running on the paths next to the flower gardens. We also enjoyed talking with the friendly owner. A few notes -- (1) the farm is open April-October; (2) open dates and times are subject to change based on weather, field conditions, and bloom availability. We recommend calling ahead before venturing out. (3) no pets allowed. (4) professional photography prohibited (unless prior permission is granted). (5) no smoking. (6) restrooms are NOT AVAILABLE. (6) this is a working farm -- so there will be dirt, mud, uneven ground, bugs, and occasionally poo. (7) dress appropriately. Wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes and sunscreen (the gardens are in full sun).

I have been using mulch, stone, and topsoil from Rose's Hauling for over five years. I have a long…read morebed pickup so much of these materials have been me going and getting it although stone was generally delivered just due to the weight. I generally need between twelve and eighteen yards of various materials every Spring as I have a large property with lots of landscaping. As such, I have done business with most of the purveyor's of mulch and stone in the Albemarle County area. I have found Rose Hauling's products to be of high quality and the customer service to be top notch. I came on here to post this after reading through the 1 star review. It does sound like a poor experience but I would also suggest some culpability on the part of the reviewer since having some familiarity with the size stone being discussed should be expected. You can stop in at either Rose's or Luckstone and they can show you the different grades of materials including stone size.

Absolutely the worst experience ever with a delivery. Have always dealt with Luckstone whom I…read moreHIGHLY recommend for all your stone and hauling needs. Above and beyond customer service. Rose hauling suggested a #3 stone for setting up a shed on. This stone is EXTREMELY way to large for raking or leveling to set a prebuilt shed on using concrete block. I'm truly at a loss for words that a company being in business this long would have made such a grave error. After recommending the wrong stone they set up the delivery. It was asked a number of times and communicated to the driver on site that we needed it spread as much as possible. Mind you the driver was able to drive to the location of where the shed is being placed, no trees, no overhead powerlines, no buildings in his path.....however He COULD NOT SPREAD****HE DUMPED 4 yards of #3 stone right in the middle of the shed location. What in the world did he or anyone expect us to do with this. RAKE IT?????? I've never been so taken back by such blatant laziness and disregard for putting a customer in such a situation. Now, Rose Hauling completely blames us for the incorrect stone....which keep in mind THEY suggested since we had NO IDEA what to get and for the driver NOT being able to spread NOT one bit....but could clearly dump. Never again will I deal with such a company that takes no responsibility NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY. Which did I mention we now have to pay someone an additional $100 on top of the almost $400 we paid to deliver 5miles if that, spread this LARGE pile of VERY LARGE stone so that the shed can be set up tomorrow. Again, if you want a very customer service oriented company deal with Luckstone in Ruckersville. If I could give a NEGATIVE number this is truly what this business deserves.
