Bates Nursery & Garden Center

I was in Nashville for a conference and couldn't pass up going to a local nursery. Bates did not disappoint. I walked out with about a half a dozen types of mint, they are all super healthy and happy. The prices for most perennials and annuals were very reasonable. I was interested in some fruit bushes/trees, the prices for these were a little higher than in my home location.

They all looked amazing and had some varieties I hadn't seen before. I ended up not getting them due to my long road trip home. Although I don't live in the area, if I find myself in Nashville again I will certainly go by Bates nursery.

I would never leave a bad review but the lady with curly gray hair was so incredibly rude to me. i've never had an employee treat me with such disrespect in my life

Huge variety of everything. Helpful staff and well organized layout. Fun place to find all the garden and lawn stuff you need.

At least four different employees helped my young daughter select a plant or two for her bedroom. They didn't have to do that, and they surely weren't going to earn a ton of money doing it. And yet they were gracious and thoughtful, and sent her home happy. And I'm happy to say that my wife, who was elsewhere in store, gave them a quite a bit of business with her full cart of plants. Thank you, Bates Nursery.

Great place but never again on a weekend. So very crowed. Nothing against the management though. Seemed they were doing all the could to help with parking and keeping check out lines moving. I just would enjoy it more on a less busy day. 5 stars though

Bates sells the best vegetable garden plants. I've been a customer for over 30 years and get very good results every year. Their staff is knowledgeable and always helpful.

In my opinion it's a great stop to purchase plants in a local nursery- huge selections. The staff was nice to build a "greenhouse" with a cardboard box and wrapping bubbles to protect the plants I purchased. Also pet friendly.

This was my third visit to Bates. It just keeps getting better and better. Today, Shannon was very generous with his time and knowledge; he listened to our desires and our home/yard conditions and topography, and then made several suggestions for each desire we had. He steered us away from plants that our plentiful area deer would feast on. Overall, a great experience and excellent customer service. THANK YOU!

They have everything you need, plants, mulch, trees, even some exotic plants. Also imported coconut mulch, which is like a peat moss type mulch. Very big place with any plants you would want, I'm sure they can order for you if it's not in stock. They are voted as Nashville's number one, ceremony should be this Saturday

I live in a different city and really did not know who to call for what I was wanting. I found what I wanted online and ordered it to be delivered to someone in Nashville. They took the time they needed and made it happen for me! Thank you very much Bates Nursery! She loves her her Hydrangea and I love the quick response and the quality she was given!

Impressive! A very LARGE collection of trees, shrubs, bushes, and flowers. And an extensive selection of usual, unusual, and hard to find botanical delights. Add to that garden tools, pots, garden art and more. With an abundance of knowledgeable and helpful staff, what more could you ask for? Next time I go I will take a picture of the acres of beautiful flowers to share.

Wonderful nursery, very large selection from flowering to vegetables like heirloom tomato seedlings

My first contact was to call them and ask if they have two kinds of plants I was looking for that no one else had. The woman was very nice and knowledgable and located the plants, told me how many they had in stock and what varieties. I was amazed! That is customer service you don't see or expect these days. I drove there and it was so huge I was overwhelmed, in a good way.

I flagged down a worker to see where the plants were located, she walked me right to the plant section and helped me find the best plant, This was a 10+ expercience. I could not be happier to have found a place like Bates, and it is family owned which is a bonus. Prices were very fair and below many other nurseries, plants were healthy and well cared for. Kudos to Bates for a business well run!

Their collection is wonderful. Staff is so helpful and nice! I'm glad I live 2.5 hours away or I'd be broke

This place is amazing! So many selections, it's well laid out and have everything for your gardening needs.

Beautiful, massive selection with very healthy looking plants. The staff was very helpful and courteous: I did not need help, but I was asked by 4 separate people if I did, which is amazing customer service. Pricing is very reasonable on all plants. Have a few hours to kill? You could definitely tootle about this place and never get bored. Highly recommend, especially if you're a plant lover.
