Absolutely Outstanding Local Nursery For Every Season! Riverbend Nurseries in Franklin is hands-down the best place to buy plants, trees, and shrubs in the Williamson County area. As a longtime customer, I've been shopping here for years, and they never disappoint. The selection is massive -- everything from beautiful perennials and vibrant annuals to healthy trees, shrubs, vegetables, and hard-to-find varieties that you won't see at the big-box stores. They grow so much right on-site, so you know the plants are fresh, strong, and perfectly suited for Middle Tennessee's climate and Zone 7 / 7b conditions. What really sets them apart is the knowledgeable and friendly staff. They're genuinely helpful, take the time to answer questions, offer great planting advice, and even helped me with landscaping ideas that made my yard look amazing. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the plants you get. Whether you're a serious gardener, a weekend warrior, or just starting out, Riverbend Nurseries feels like a true local treasure. Family-owned and operated since 1990, it's clear they care deeply about what they do. If you're anywhere near Franklin or Thompson's Station, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll leave with healthy plants and great ideas -- and you'll probably be back again soon, just like me! read more

Great customer service and a wide variety of plants and garden supplies! The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely my go-to garden center! read more

I've shopped at this place because it was close to my house, but it's not worth it. The management at the garden center are so rude and unprofessional, and are abrasive to their own staff in front of customers. read more

Great little nursery find. Very nice selection of annuals and perennials. Was able to pick up bedding plants at least a week or two ahead of many other plant stores. Excellent prices on fruit trees. Rivals the big box stores. Has some common garden plants as well as some harder to find plants. Selection is a slightly more limited in terms of garden plants but the quality of the stock is outstanding. Very friendly and helpful staff. New plants arriving every week. Oh yes....and there's a play area for kids. Nice touch. read more

I always have a wonderful experience with this place every time we go! The staff is so friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and they have the best prices around since they grow some of their own product. Highly recommend! read more

We usually just stop in Lowe's for our plants but we decided to make a little drive out to this place this morning and check out the plants. They have a very large and beautiful assortment of plants but I would say the service cannot be matched. Everyone we encountered was interested in our needs and very informative...my Lowe's days are over. The additional care and knowledge paired with reasonable prices made this our new landscaping destination. read more

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. This is where you go when you want to get what the professionals get in landscaping. My Brother was in town and he is a professional landscaper and he was very impressed. We've been a customer for over 10 years now. read more

So far so good. I like the mulch they have and the selection of plants and flowers. However........the Kubota tractor should have a 1/2 yard bucket instead of a 3/4 yard bucket. I don't like the idea of a 3/4 yard bucket. When I go there to get a yard of mulch, the first bucket is full and the second bucket is so-so filled. It always seems like that I'm getting less than a yard after both buckets are dumped in the back of my truck. BTW.......I tried purchasing a 1/2 yard of mulch there once and I was told they don't sell 1/2 yards because of the "3/4" yard bucket. They said it gets too confusing! Well I believe that it's their way of forcing the minimum 1 yard sale of mulch. Oh well. read more

I saw good reviews for Riverbend on Nextdoor and decided to take the drive from downtown Franklin and go check it out. I was very disappointed. I would estimate that 30-40% of the stock I looked at was distressed or very distressed. Some of it was flat unsalable in my opinion. Everything from B&B hedge stock to herbs was affected. I thought the prices were high as well. They were certainly higher than my local Lowes/HomeDepot and very high for the condition of the materials. Maybe I got there in between large stock changes? Maybe they had watering issues? I don't know, but I would not recommend them. I honestly feel that Lowes or HomeDepot has better quality materials. read more

Got a great selection! I bought hydrangeas, azaleas, crepe myrtle bushes, and two small trees last year for the front of our house. They were healthy and well cared for, and a fair price but not cheap price. This year they have grown beautifully and look amazing. You may be able to get a slightly better price at Home Depot, but definitely not the quality or variety. Definitely recommend. read more

John was excellent to deal with. Very courteous, polite, and very knowledgeable. He even loaded the tree for me making sure I understood what needed to be done to ensure the health of my product. Great first experience I will definitely go back if and when I need other things in the future. Ask for John! read more

Fantastic plants and good prices. Maybe because I went at the end of the day but I got very little help in looking for what I wanted. Was told its out there...and she pointed. When asking for how to care for it she acted like I was not very smart and inconveniencing her. But I did find what I wanted and it's pretty. read more

We decided to re-do the landscaping at our home without any real idea of what we were looking for when we came to Riverbend. We've been multiple times now and everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend if you need advice! read more
