Chadwick's greenhouse was about 20 minutes from where I'm staying and my first stop... my mouth dropped to the ground upon walking into the greenhouses main entrance. Never have I seen so many plants, let alone orchids, in my entire life. Spoke with the owner who was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (obviously!). This is where I learned Chadwick's has 2 storefront locations... along with their greenhouses!!! Super impressed! The selection is out of this world... so many beautiful options. Will definitely be back every visit to VA. Keep up the amazing work!

We hired James River Nurseries to do all our landscaping when we were building our house…read more I like the plan we came up with. But, they failed in their execution and customer service. 1) They planted a tree I didn't ask for. They said they had to do it because it was an HOA requirement. Fine. But, I should have been given the opportunity to choose the species and location. Nope. James River picked the tree (with a color we don't want) and planted it in the way of where our bulldozer needs to go. 2) Half a dozen shrubs and 1 tree they planted are dead within 2 months of their planting. Doug said he'd send someone over in a couple days to take inventory and fix it. Weeks later, no one ever came so I had to follow up and remind them again. 3) I bought sod to cover 3/4 of an acre. Some of the sod didn't take. Some of the sod came with weeds. I thought the point of sod was to not have any weeds at all on day 1? I found their execution, customer service, and product to be lacking. UPDATE: weeks after I posted this review, James River came and replaced the dead shrubs and dead tree. They didn't call me to tell me they were coming. Instead, they just came. So... once again, they missed an opportunity to ASK ME what kind of flowering tree we would like and where we would like it to be planted. Instead, they planted some tree (I have no idea what it is) and located it directly right where a bulldozer needs to go in order to reach our backyard. It's just so unnecessarily wasteful. This is really a 1-star review. I'm leaving 2 stars in case our poor experiences with James River were a fluke. UPDATE 10/9: Months later (but less than a year after initial landcscaping), another shrub died. I notified Doug and he said he'd take care of it but he never did. It's been a month since he said he'd take care of it and now he won't even answer polite reminders that we're waiting on James River Nurseries to fulfill their warranty. They blew yet another chance to redeem themselves.

We had the pleasure of working with James River to complete our back yard renovation. The…read morelandscaping was the last part of our project that included utility work, pool and yard makeover. When we first met with Doug it was apparent he knew what he was talking about and also took the time to listen to what we wanted. If he thought we should choose a certain plant he had evidence as to why. We shared with him our drainage problem and he assured us it would be fixed. Months after the initial visit, we were finally ready to have JR install our new shrubs and trees. They were very accommodating as we continued to switch the schedule. They finished the work and made sure that that everything was as we wanted it. The decisions they made with grasses and small shrubs they made were a perfect accent to the large trees. I would highly recommend giving James River an opportunity for your home. As they were at our home, we discussed some of their commercial work too. As I was driving around I took note of those location since several were near my house. It was clear they not only do a great job with a small project like my home, but also a larger commercial project as well. Thanks Doug and the entire James River team!

I'm writing from the perspective of someone who attended a networking event here! While I did not…read morepurchase any orchids on this trip, they were all stunning. ***LOCATION*** This charming orchid shop isn't too far from the VMFA. It's right on Belmont ave. You can find street parking in front. ***EXPERIENCE*** I came for the Flowers & Networking event with Sweet Talk Strategy. I learned that anyone can host events here. If you're interested in having a bridal shower, baby shower, or any other kind of get together, this is a unique spot to do it! While it was a bit tinier, it was a good space for conversation with strangers. The front table had special themed drinks and a corner table had snacks from Cameo Cakery and Lamma Marie's Gourmet Popcorn. ***PRICE*** Most of the orchids I was looking at started at about $35. They had a lot of stunning bloomed orchids on them, so the price made sense. ***CONCLUSION*** This is an amazing spot to host or attend an event.
