Worth repeating, Ivy Nursery has a knowledgeable and personable staff. They are extraordinarily helpful.

Expensive. The older woman that is usually behind the cash register is very rude. Skip this nursery. Plenty others in the area that have as good as or better selection. read more

This is a very well kept nursery just on the very west side of Charlottesville towards Crozet that has plenty to offer any gardener, beginner or advanced. They sell all sorts of plants including perineal , annuals, fruit trees and bushes, veggie garden supplies, tropical plants, air plants, succulents and even ginormous trees for landscaping at very reasonable prices! Most of their inventory if not all, is organic including soil offerings, and supplies. You should definitely check this place out if you love gardening as much as I do, or need basic supplies! read more

This place is a wonderful experience. I found a snowball bush, which I had been looking for for a while. The greenery is beautifully displayed and had great assistance from Jane. Very enjoyable visit. Will be back! read more

I needed an elegant gift for a very dear male friend who was turning 80. I decided on an orchid plant but because I live in Rhode Island I needed to use the internet to purchase from a business in his area. I was so fortunate to choose Ivy Nursery! The woman who took my order was very helpful with her suggestions and she assured me that some spectacular orchids were being delivered by her supplier. She promised to choose the very best one for my friend and she did! He just sent a photo and he could not be more thrilled with this gift. Made his day and mine too. read more

Nice nursery with a varied selection of plants. I was surprised not to see or find a handicapped parking space. I thought that they are required by law. read more

An easy-going place with the best, healthy variety in town! Potted plants, flowers, bulbs, seeds, shrubs, trees, and even some indoor supplies, pots, etc. Additionally, they had a decent sale section when I went. Before I visited, I spoke with one of the plant professionals on the phone. I was pleased to find that when I arrived, they took my name and had that same person who I chatted to come speak with me. We were able to continue our conversation and she had already set aside & tagged the plants I had been asking about. She was very knowledgable and incredibly kind. I appreciated the continuity. I will add, this nursery is very large compared to any others in Cville and can be somewhat overwhelming. I found the tree section somewhat difficult to navigate - but I am not a tree expert, by any means. If you go, plan a good chunk of time, enjoy a walk through the different plant sections & don't hesitate to ask questions! I think that's how you will have the most rewarding experience. read more

I'm clueless when it comes to plants! But I needed potted flowers for outside use and went to Ivy Nursery to see if I could find pretty ones. The selection was overwhelming and I was relieved when Jean asked me if I needed help. She was amazing! I explained what times of day the plants would be getting sun and she knew exactly which plants would work. She also told me how often to water them. When I asked how much soil I would need, she offered to replant them in larger pots for a nominal fee which was such a relief, since I would probably not do it well myself! The plants are flourishing and I'm so appreciative of the expertise Jean gave me!! read more

You expect good customer service at Ivy Nursery - since customers do pay a premium at this establishment. Not so. I walked out today and left my $300 worth of plants behind. Too bad. BTW, it's mainly the folks at the counter that make the environment unpleasant... read more

absolutely breath taking. amazing selection! I literally have no problems finding what i need, they are very helpful, and they have an incredible amount of plants i have never even heard of. read more

You can find ANY plant you need, want, desire here in Ivy. The staff is amazing in their knowledge of perennials, annuals, shrubs, and the indigenous plants of the area. read more

You would expect some level of service given the prices they charge, but they really are unwilling to make any concessions to modern technology. They won't allow you to place orders over the phone or by email (to save waiting hours for a bow to be made) and any time you stop in expect to spend at least an hour there. They can be quite snotty. That being said, they do have beautiful products. read more

It was my my first experience shopping at Ivy's Nursery because I am new to the area. Good quality plants and good service. Thank you Heidi for professional advice! read more

Ivy nursery is the most aesthetically pleasing nursery I've ever visited. It is a delight!! The plants are varied and extremely healthy and beautifully presented. The staff is quite knowledgeable, very willing to help and to answer gardening questions. I purchase all my herbs, annuals and perennials and David Austin roses there. I've bought many large box woods and a Little Gem Magnolia and all are growing extremely well. Best nursery in Charlottesville and a gardeners paradise! read more

I'd heard about Ivy Nursery for years but always assumed it was for an older crowd, as opposed to a grad student like myself. Boy was I wrong! While I see myself loving it even more once older, I love it now too. I walked in and was immediately greeted very warmly and asked if I needed help. The woman who helped me was wonderful - not pushy but very knowledgeable and helped me find the exact plants I was looking for. After that, I couldn't help but walk around as everything there is SO beautiful!! They have absolutely everything and more that I would ever want for my yard and even living room (it took every ounce of discipline I had not to walk out of there with multiple orchid arrangements). Not only that, the gift shop is full of lovely picture frames, vivd and charming coffee table books, and fun/sassy decorative pillows. I truly felt like I'd walked into a little slice of paradise, and while I rarely post reviews online, I just really wanted to spread the word about this place. Wonderful people, beautiful everything, and they even had samples of little cookies for while I poked around. I can't wait to find an excuse to go back!!!! And next time I need a hostess gift or anything at all for my house or yard, I can't think of a better place to go. Well done all around! read more
