Riverview Nursery Garden Center

Staff was rude. Over priced. Zero respect for people who are not able to wear a face masks even when stated having a medical exemption. they said the governor's going around and taking away business licenses if they find anyone without a mask. UPDATE: a review is not a punishment.it is a description of our experience in your store. We hear you loud and clear where your priorities are.hence the review. Giving others the heads up if they are not able to wear a mask.

Riverview Nursery has been my go to place for unique gifts and plants for years. When the pandemic hit I was very happy with the curbside delivery that they offered. I was still able to fill my flowerbeds with my favorites that I was easily able to order online. When they reopened they provided a hand washing station, require social distancing and require mask wearing as mandated by the state.

It allowed their customers to return to the store knowing that they had concern for my health but also for their employees. Because of the measures they put in place it became my go to place to get out of the house and fill my house with unique plants that found their new home in decorative pots. Thank you Riverview and staff for doing your part in helping keep the community safe.

Riverview is my go-to nursery for just about everything! I have a yard full of healthy shrubs and perennials from them; next I'll be adding trees. They also have a fantastic gift shop, and hold classes and workshops for things like terrariums, cactus planters, kokedama, etc. All of the employees are super nice and always helpful when I need it.

I was so glad I stopped by here! I was on the search for a string of hearts, and they had it in stock! It was a super cute shop with a lot of "trendy" house plants.

So glad to see a business following simple covid mitigation efforts! You care about your customers and it shows. What good are gorgeous flowers if you can't smell them when you lose your loss of smell if you get Covid or worse yet, end up in the percentage that doesn't make it. I cannot wait to fill my garden with flowers & plants from a nursery that cares! May your gardens flourish 10 fold and may you be continuously blessed for your heartfelt effort to keep your community safe!

They have a great selection of plants available. I bought 2 wisteria last year, both are still doing great this year. Hoping to use them for pond plants this year! In regards to requiring masks, they are a private business and can enforce it if they so choose. Others can then choose to shop there or not. IMO, the plants and selection are worth it.

This place is so cute & they have a really great selection of house plants. I can't say much for the other plants. This was my first time there. When I walked in, someone assisted me immediately & knew where all the products I wanted were. My only complaint is that their prices are a bit steep I purchased a 4 long air plant for $15 & found the same species & size online from a very well rated air plant shop & they sell the same size & for $15 you get a pack of 5. But I needed the plants quick so I purchased them. They are in excellent condition & beautiful color I was wish the prices weren't as expensive.

One of my absolute favorite places to go in Berks County. not just for plants, but to explore and learn! Their products are always unique, their plants are healthy and beautiful, and I know that anything I plant from Riverview will thrive. or they'll be able to tell me why it might not be thriving. I love that at Christmas I can find the German smokers I love, and my budding teenage horticulturist can satisfy her plant geek.

When spotted lanternflies first came to the area, Riverview was leading the community in sharing prevention methods and education. They are not just a business, they're a family and a community, and I love knowing that their plants surround my home and farm!

River view nursery is amazing. Diane, Alaina and Aleks are professional and great to work with When I was getting married they did my bridal bouquets etc. and my center pieces for the reception. Love their energy and their patience. Whenever I am back in berks I like to stop in and look at all the fun gifts in the shop. I can't keep plants alive to safe my life but Diane keeps answering my questions through it all and even though I live in Virginia now!

This business is run by very nasty people. Governor wolf made it clear you no longer need to wear a mask. I was there today with the intent of spending a few thousands dollars. After shopping for 10 minutes some lady came barreling in thru the side door and told me I need to wear a mask. I reminded her of the new rules and she said we don't follow the governor were a private business and still require masks.

I simply set my stuff down and left. I don't need to be told how to shop, and definitely don't need a mask. If your mask works, why do I need one? Stop following the msm and lining up like sheep to do as your told. I then left a Facebook review and hours later they started deleting comments and turned off reviews. Nothing says your wrong like running from the problem.

I was also harassed about my Facebook profile and doxxed for posting my review. I will never spend a dime in that place again. And neither will 85,000 other people. As a small business you think you'd value customers but this place clearly only values what they want.

One of my favorite local businesses for plants and gifts! I'm always taken aback by how fresh their inventory is with new gift ideas popping into my head as soon as I enter the store. Riverview staff has always been friendly, helpful, and informative! I also appreciate that they've been enforcing the mask mandate to keep shoppers and staff safe & healthy allowing me to spend more time than expected to browse and take in the beautiful green plants during a gloomy winter. I value businesses like Riverview over big box stores and hope you do too!

The ladies at Riverview are excellent! They go out of their way to provide customer service above and beyond! Love their store.

Overpriced, no customer service and rude employees. You are better off going anywhere else. Tree prices are high and the warranty is lousy. Telling someone that "nature is what it is" to explain why a white birch tree purchased with green leaves, now blooms with red leaves is unacceptable from someone with a plant business.

Expensive, by comparison. Like, 33% more than other sources of like products. A repeated pattern over several years. Can't say I'm interested in returning, even though they are just a mile away.

Riverview is such a magical place that I add it to my destination list when visiting Eastern PA. I can always find lovely gifts to buy, and the service is impeccable. I never leave empty handed. I like to just wander around the store and the grounds and imagine I'm living there! Their plants I've taken home have had the best longevity of all my house plants, and they always manage to survive the long drive. I only wish I lived closer so that I could take advantage of their landscaping services for my pathetic front garden!

Inquired about a large elm tree they had for sale today for $179.00 price tag ON THE TREE, went up to the office and the girl said oh no that price is last years price todays price is $249.00. It is May 24th here, I was going to have them deliver and plant also and she said it could be $250 or more they dont know. Needless to say I am shopping elsewhere.
