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!
