Wonderful diverse assortment of quality plants and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They grow the majority of their own plants. They have a fantastic assortment of pots and pretty much anything you would need to do anything related to plants. They also have an assortment of pillows, house decor type stuff. They also sell nice weed or metal outdoor furniture. From decor to potting soil to trees to annual flowers to succulents for your home (huge assortment), you are likely to find what you seek or spend a great afternoon among fabulous plants.

Beautiful nursery with great product mix. If you don't see something, ask because they may have it in a back greenhouse.

Fantastic. This is one of the coolest nurseries of all time and the people who work there are super nice and helpful. Of course plants are the main deal.and you'll find more than you ever wanted here and THEN some. Everything is meticulously maintained. I love the fact that they allow the barn swallows to freely nest wherever they like. Always a fantastic experience, Signal Mountain Nursery is simply.the best!

Every staff member here is so kind! The plants are all healthy and pest free (always be sure to check anyways), love the affordable prices here too! I'm about an hour away but it's worth the drive over every single time. I love that it's so giant and almost never packed by a crowd of people thank you for being here!
