It's hard to say what they are like when most people visit--because visiting in the middle of the…read moreafternoon in the middle of the week in the middle of summer hardly gives you a feeling for what peak spring is like. But if my visit is any indication at all, this is probably a family-run spot with nice folks doing their best to bring you good flowers. The world of plant stores/nurseries has taken a turn for the charming lately, with some even doubling as wedding and reception centers. Interiors are being redone with very Instaworthy layouts and all the modern trends. That's not the case here. This is where you go for your bedding plants. This is where you go for a nice tree. This is where you go to peruse the perennials to just cruise and find something you like. I'm told that earlier in the season they have a nice selection of veggies so that would for sure be worth checking out. I'm not sure if the wintertime brings more houseplants, succulents, cacti, or other on-trend plants, but for now that selection was pretty limited. It's not their specialty, and that's A-OK as long as you know. I found the help to be very friendly, and they seemed to focus a lot on making the plants as affordable as possible, which is always appreciated. They were kind enough to remark on all the recent markdowns and take the time to show a few favorites. All in all, it's a pretty straightforward spot with a lot of the likely suspects, and if you cruise around town looking at nurseries as I do, you'll probably find something interesting here, too.

Today we will finalize some of our selections and ask for recommendations for landscapers. We already have a pleasing professional architectural plan, and now we are anxious to implement it right away with the healthy looking plants we found here. The staff was extremely helpful and patient. The facility is well organized. Hopefully we are not too late in the planting season for inventory selection. They were busy the day we were there, and we noticed a lot of contractors selecting stock. I can't believe there aren't more reviews posted here. We live in Orem and learned about Thrive from some neighbors who used them. We visited another large nursery in Orem, and they were very helpful, but we connected with Thrive's organization, selection and plant health.

I was very disappointed with my experience at Thrive Nursery…read more I recently spent over $300 on flowers and plants, including a hydrangeas that cost $53 each. Within 24 hours of planting it, the hydrangea was already dying. I called and left a voicemail but never received a return call. When I called again the next day, I was told, "We don't warranty plants, only trees." What disappointed me most wasn't just the policy--it was how it was handled. As I tried to explain what had happened, I was repeatedly interrupted with, "We don't warranty plants." There was no attempt to listen to my concerns or offer any kind of customer service or goodwill solution. If there is no warranty on plants, especially on expensive items, that should be clearly explained to customers before they make a purchase. I spent over $300 expecting healthy, quality plants and at least some level of support if something went wrong within the first 24 hours. Unfortunately, the lack of communication, the unwillingness to listen, and the poor customer service have left me very disappointed. Based on this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. You've lost a loyal customer.

They look like they are enjoying their job which is always nice to see. The unfortunate part of my visit is a lot of their plants did not look healthy. You can tell they are watering on top of the plant instead of at the roots. You can see a lot of scorch marks on the flowers and the leaves. On the bright side the trees looked very healthy. They also had the beautiful hydrangeas lime light trees/shrub that looked beyond healthy which is rare to see at a nursery. But above all I might stop by once in awhile but I probably won't buy especially because the prices of the plants are so pricey.

You can tell they care about every customers because even if they are selling plants they make sure to let u know when it's a good time to plant or not plant certain plants.

I easily spent a hour and a half of just looking at all the different plants. The prices for the plants are very realistic and the plants are always healthy. I've never had anything I've bought from them die. They have the most beautiful hanging baskets I've ever seen it's become a tradition every year for Mother's Day to get my mother two massive hanging baskets which last all the way to November.

Sun River Gardens is beautifully organized, thoughtfully displayed, and stocked with a selection that puts most nurseries in the area to shame. Walking through it feels less like a garden center errand and more like an experience worth making time for. The indoor plant section is well curated and extensive. The outdoor area covers annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs. The pottery selection, both indoor and outdoor, is lovely and priced accordingly. The pre-potted arrangements are hard to walk past. And then there is the home decor section, which is genuinely my favorite part of the visit. Exclusive, elegant, and full of pieces you simply will not find anywhere else, from beautiful accents and furniture to the most charming toys you can imagine. None of it is cheap, but none of it looks like anything else either. Now for the part I have been trying to figure out for years. I have a green thumb. I have a home full of healthy thriving plants. But something consistently happens with the plants I bring home from Sun River Gardens. Within a week or two, despite careful attention and following care instructions, they decline and die. This has happened enough times to be a pattern rather than a coincidence. Interestingly I have noticed the same thing with plants from other high end nurseries, while plants from Harmons or even Walmart almost always thrive. My best guess is that greenhouse grown plants raised in highly controlled environments struggle more with the transition to home conditions, but I genuinely do not know. What I do know is that it keeps happening. And yet I keep coming back, because the selection and the experience are that good. Four stars for the atmosphere, the inventory, and that home decor section. Just go in with realistic expectations if you are buying plants to keep alive.
