    I didn't know how much I wanted to grow strawberries until I saw these :)
    Aimy T.

    Lived in Richmond for 4 years before ever hearing about this place, it really is a hidden gem. My boyfriend's mom had given us some lavender and lemongrass room sprays from here and even though I loved them I didn't visit until another 2 years later. They have a good variety of plants, planters, gardening supplies, soil, gifts. I'm prefer modern minimal planters, which they do have including some cool succulent displays. I think I'll have to come back next summer and pick up some of their strawberry or blueberry plants, so cute. We did pick up some lavender lemonade and salted caramel ice cream, both were delicious! FYI the ice cream comes pre-packed in little cups and lids. I just really wish they didn't use styrofoam as it can't be recycled easily.

    Wonderful people give you free lavender lemonade and ice cream once you enter the shop ! Great spot to stop

    You also get a sachet to fill up with dried lavender and it smells so good.

    I had a great time picking lavender. Shawn was super helpful to show me how to pick good flowers and how to cut them. I also had a great conversation with Joey - the staff is just super friendly and a pleasure to be around. I tried the lavender ice cream, which was so smooth and I liked that it did not have an overwhelming lavender flavor. I will definitely return to try the rest of the ice cream flavors.

    What a cute farm . And they sell fresh herbs and plants. Stopped by here while I was running errands to grab some lavender and what a sweet surprise. Easy to find and it smelled heavenly in the store. They offer tours of the fields and classes on growing your own herbs too which is a nice activity for families, especially in the summer. You can also pick your own sunflower there too . Supporting local business is also a great thing, there's much to see and do here, and the products are superb!!

    Love, love this super cute and quaint farm!! I've been saying I'm going to stop by and I'm so glad I finally did. They offer free classes on how-to plant & grow succulents, herbs, etc., metal ornamentals, pumpkins & gourds and butterfly bushes. I will be back again.

    Good to spend an afternoon eating honey ice cream and to shop for herbs . I took my mom there she grew up on a farm and she like it lavender fields. We bought 2 herbs plans, two corners to build a planter and we had ice cream by the river. Good place for mom and daughter afternoon or for a romantic ice cream with husband or boyfriend.

    Beautiful gardens overlooking the river and the sweetest little shop with homemade lavender and honey gifts, including skincare and ice cream! Friendly owners as well.

    James River Nurseries - Dead bush from James River Nursuries

    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 purchased pumpkin this season from this place. We rode on the back of the tractor which was nice…read moreexperience. They also have a petting zoo. the ride to the field wasn't that far and they have a great selection of pumpkins from large to small. Overall was satisfied with my visit.

    Sometimes I could use a 1/2 star rating. I'd give this a 3.5/5 instead of 3/5…read more We arrived for an October morning full of all things fall. It's a good thing we decided to get there when they open because when we left around 1130, the line was very, very long! We got in line for donuts. They were pretty ready. I was put off by a female employee who was smoking while working. She lit it up after walking out of a door nearby. She had the cigarette in the palm of her hand holding it with her pointer finger and thumb. That was not cool in my book. We waited in line for a wagon to take us to the pumpkin field. We waited not too long for that. While waiting so walked into the nursery area to look at all the flowers... mostly mums. Pricing was fairly reasonable. We finally got on the wagon. It was actually a pretty good ride to the field. We were dropped off and have free reign of the field. We could stay as long as we would like. Then we take a wagon back when we were ready. There was some confusion or lack of communication on how picking and paying for pumpkins went. We thought we would pay by weight and not the whole, "pay a set rate for as many as you can hold while taking 3 steps." A staff member was very kind to us when we returned. We were about to go back out and get more pumpkins to make it worth our trip. There was also confusion on entering the kids play area. We had tickets online, but did not realize we needed to go I see the gift shop to get the wrist bands. The ground in that area where the inflatables were, was really hard in the feet if you took your shoes off in order to play on/in the inflatables. We ended up telling our kids to keep their shoes in to avoid an injury's. For us, this was a one and done.

    Mulch Unlimited - Delicate and precise dumping.

    Mulch Unlimited

    Outstanding experience!…read more I'm a homeowner. I'm not a commercial grower or landscape architect. But, I needed mulch. A lot of mulch. I called several places and Heather at Mulch Unlimited was, far and away, the nicest and most helpful of anyone I spoke with. I visited their yard in Mechanicsville because I wanted to see what the economy mulch looked like (I really don't know why.) Again, Heather was very nice and helpful. I ordered 75 yards of Mulch Unlimited economy mulch. Promised delivery was Friday around noon. On Friday, around noon, Steven arrived with the first mulch load. Steven was great. He was friendly and he did an excellent job dumping 75 yards of mulch in precisely the spot I wanted it to be. I'm unable to think of anything anyone could have done that would have made this a better experience.

    Superior customer service and a high quality product ! I ordered 8 yards of their premium hardwood…read moremulch for my flower beds . It was somewhat lighter in weight compared to other hardwood mulch I've used elsewhere. Also it was fairly scented which made me believe I received pine bark mulch in error. I traded pictures with Heather and she in fact confirmed I received the correct hardwood. She explained the difference between their premium and economy hardwood, the latter being heavier in consistancy. The premium is lighter since they only use the core of the tree, hence the coverage is not as great as the economy mulch. That's the reason my 8 yards was a little short for my project. Heather shipped me an extra yard a no cost so I could complete my bed coverage. She didn't have to do that...this was essentially my error. I should have visited the site and outlined my requirements rather than assuming 8 yards was sufficient. This is an exordinary high level of customer service and I will be buying all my mulch from M. U. They are also one of the few companies that carry mushroom compost which I will order this fall. Kudos to Heather!!
