We are from So. IL and were skeptical to buy from here at first, but I'm glad we went ahead! Ordered a variety of fruit trees and berry bushes, which were mostly excellent when they arrived! Their packaging is top tier compared to what we have received from Gurney's (and a pain in the butt to unwrap lol). Out of all the stuff we ordered, only one fig tree had some damage to the top from being pushed against the box. Still giving 5 starts just because of the quality and care that seems to go into shipping, and the size of the plants was fantastic!

The plants were packaged very carefully and look healthy. They arrived on time with the soil still moist and plants intact. Thank you for the special attention with the shipping.

I had heard great things about this place for years, but, because it's an hour away, I kept putting off going. Now, having finally made the pilgrimage, I wish I had visited years ago! Not only are the display gardens stunningly beautiful, but the nursery plants are healthy, and the selection is well curated. The staff (George in particular) was extremely helpful. He answered all my questions, helped me locate the plants on my list, and made suggestions about substitutions that would be better suited for my zone. It was inspiring to be there, and I'll be going back this season.

More than a little out of the way, but still worth the trip. Friendly, helpful staff, great selection surpassed by only their knowledge and professionalism. Surrounded by distilleries, wineries and breweries, make a day of a trip and enjoy!

I ordered some plants from Edible Landscaping, got one that had been damaged. They promptly sent out a replacement that was well packaged and in good health. I was so pleased that ordered more from them! I love the hard-to-find varieties that they carry!

We came for some pawpaw trees, left with that and more. Absolutely beautiful nursery. Unique in that the plants they sell are also growing on the property. Sampling fruit of a tree or bush you're looking at getting and growing yourself is something we've never encountered before. Also, I believe the owner, is extremely knowledgeable in what he sells. We were blown away. When, where, and how to plant what you are purchasing, he knew it all and was eager and happy to inform you. Bonus points for you if you are Frank Zappa fan

Our family has been traveling from Newport News, VA (2 1/2 hours of driving) to slowly add to our food forest. Every time, Michael and Gorge was always there. They are always so kind and friendly. We like going there during the summer months because the kids can taste the ripe fruits. The kids always have so much fun, finding fruits and eating them. Edible landscaping is definitely a family own nursery that we will continue to support.
