Will not comment on the entirety of this business but their customer service over the phone is absurd. I called to ask if their employees are knowledgeable enough to answer questions about what plants could survive / thrive in the space that I have....the backyard is quite small and its Colorado. I do not know much about plants so I figured maybe it would take 10 minutes and 20 questions for them to make a decent sale. I got told they don't really have time to do everything for me, we are more of a plant wholesaler. Good luck on the profit model!

The staff, the prices and their quality of product is awesome. I purchased a large load to take back to South Dakota and they stayed late to load and pack everything for me. Top notch service and quality. I will definitely be back.

The staff at this company has extensive knowledge of all types of plants, it helps that they have all been working in the industry for a long time and know their stuff. The plants are well cared for and it shows in how healthy, vibrant, and large they all are. I work in the landscape industry and this company is my top choice for perennials and trees. Thank you James Nursery for all the beauty that comes from your hard work!!

Total rip off! My landscaper asked for 5 Junipers. They said just the tips are brown from a late freeze, but they would pick the best ones. One was very small, had lotsof holes and a lot more brown than just the tips. No exchange and no guarantee. I went to nursery and they had given me the worst tree on the lot. Had to pay full for a decent one.
