Visited for the first time today and had an amazing experience. The place is beautiful and all the plants were healthy and thriving. I struggled not to spend all the money I had with me on the lovely plant options they had as well as the beautiful pots and plant accessories they had inside. I walked out with a cart full of plants that made my balcony look great! Will be back soon!

Really beautiful nursery with a great selection of flowers, , plants, and plant containers. The small gift shop has so many cute items and the sweetest kitty was inside to pet! Best flower selection I've seen in a while.

Even though I am an avid plant mom, with dozens of babies of all different ages, I don't get over to Sneads often enough. When I do visit, I am always in awe of the variety of plants in inventory. I also LOVE the way this space is presented and organized. I went today in search of two plants I do not own and I found both. I couldn't justify the $40 price on the giant Monstera, which was actually priced better than all I'd seen recently.
I did purchase a small Prayer Plant that I'd been wanting for a while. It's beautiful! Because I'm an Elite yelper, I also nabbed a free Catnip plant for my kitty cat. If you are nearby, looking for anything in the plant world, inside or out, do stop in. You will find what you need as you leisurely stroll the grounds. (I even picked up an application for employment!)

Very poor response trying to get 5 trees replaced or refunded that died. I also paid for them to plant the trees. Went over there twice the first time in February to advise them about the trees. They said they had to wait to get more trees in. Again went over there about the end of March. Got the same story waiting for trees to come in. My wife told them she had called to inquire about the trees and they were to call her back, but they did not return.
One of the ladies said we don't have time to call everybody. I advised her we had bought $800.00 worth of trees that died and I didn't think we were everybody. Well that was two weeks ago and nothing yet. The trees came with a one year warranty. I hate to do this but if my trees are not replaced by the end of this month or we get a refund, we are going to turn it over to a Lawyer. They really don't act concerned

Always an adventure. This is like falling down a rabbit hole. Plan to be there for a while. Something wonderful or curious around every corner. I am a life long customer since being introduced to this gem. Thank you for your response to my post.how about a teacher/first reponder discount?

I recently went to Sneed's on the recommendation of a friend, as I'm still relatively new to the Richmond area. What a treat! I bought a beautiful Christmas wreath, some fresh greenery, and a Christmas cactus. The woman who cut the greenery for me was very nice, and I loved looking around the indoor shop where there are lots of beautiful ornaments and Christmas decorations. It's a bit pricey but I liked supporting a local business, plus I liked how festive it felt there.
