And it was doubly exciting because I very rarely ever shop at a nursery or go in search of one. This was one for the ages. It may not be the first place that comes to mind when holiday shopping but I had the idea of gifting a series of flowers that align with birth months, anniversaries and special memories as gifts. Think of it as 'art' that lives in your yard. But that's about all I had figured out. Luckily, the folks at Bates took care of the rest. First things first, the place is large. It's not overwhelmingly so (so, not Opryland) but it's big enough that if you don't know what you're doing or what you're looking for, you're going to be the Sims character who just spins. Not being shy about my lack of clues, I walked up to the desk and said what I was trying to do/buy and I didn't know what else to do after that. After being complimented about my thoughtfulness, I was tag-teamed: I was given directions to find a specific person to talk to about flowers and another about shrubbery. Given that you will actually be walking through distinct areas/zones, I was given landmarks to note. I appreciated all of this. I was a fish out of water and every instruction was a sign of kindness. I found my first contact (who had been given a heads up by walkie talkie) and she was awesome. She was so awesome that I just went all in with flowers and forgot the shrubs. She explained zones, planting times, soil, perennials vs annuals, etc. I took notes (seriously). And then she started walking me through the selection. Bates.Has.Everything. They do. Don't ask. Just trust. And a side effect of having everything is fair pricing. They have everything and they have a lot of it so you aren't on the hook to spend a lot due to scarcity. I left the nursery with a bit of an education, plants that mean something to the recipients and continue to adorn yards, money in my pocket for other gifts, and a good feeling from shopping local and supporting a business that's been around for almost 100 years. There are so many cool businesses to discover on Yelp outside of food and drink. Dig in, explore and patronize what makes your metro unique.

Additionally if you are within 30 minutes I'd suggest getting the year long membership as it reduces future purchases by 20%.

I'd be happy to help out with the website to make all the products and photos of the nursery a little easier to digest. Also is very helpful to understand what you all have coming even if it's not available. Additionally add in some notes about different plant pairings and what they will do for your garden. Example Black Cherry: Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is a medium-sized, deciduous forest tree native to the Americas, but also naturalized in parts of Europe. It features inflorescence with small white blooms that become clusters of dark cherries, edible when pitted. Mature trees have gray-to-black, distinctly crackled bark. The glossy leaves are poisonous to livestock. It is a highly reproductive pioneer species with invasive potential. Plant Care: Sunlight Full sun to partial sun Hardiness -40 ℉ Hardiness Zones 3-7 Soil Clay, loam, sand; well drained; slightly acidic, neutral, slightly alkaline Care Guide Water Drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry completely between watering. Fertilization Fertilization once every 2-3 months during the growing season. Pruning Trim the dead, diseased, overgrown branches in winter. Planting Time Spring, autumn, winter Harvest Time Late Summer Bird Benefits: Black cherry is the largest cherry tree and offers a triple lure for birds, providing them with food, shelter, and nesting opportunities. The trees' fruit is loved by a long list of birds. Their flowers draw hummingbirds and insects, so attract insect-eating birds. And their foliage offers nesting opportunities. Not to mention that these trees host many types of caterpillars, a favorite food source for many birds. The impressive list of birds drawn to black cherry includes robins, orioles, jays, thrashers, waxwings, woodpeckers, bluebirds, grosbeaks, finches, flickers, mockingbirds, tanagers, thrushes, and yellow-bellied sapsuckers.

When the dirt was dropped at my home, we saw that it was completely unfiltered topsoil. Grass, large logs, large clumps of clay, larger rocks,etc. this was not fit to use in a garden.

It doesn't say that in the receipt and anyone knows that was unfit to use is a raises garden bed. This soil could've only been used for fill dirt in construction. We actually had to just dump out the dirt somewhere that accept fill and go buy it elsewhere. Point is: they do not care about the product and just want a sale. They knew it was wrong to sell it to me for what I explained it was going to be used for and then refused a return in less than an hour after receiving the product.
