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.

Botany plants lately??? I have bought quite a few over the years from Sneeds Nursery. It's quaint cottage feel keeps me coming back. I look forward to coming and walking around looking at all the beautiful things they have to offer. A wide variety of plants, vegetables, trees, shrubs, soils, fertilizers, pots, and mulch mulch more. Yep I told you this place was kinda a big Dill.

I've been here two years in a row for Christmas trees and each time the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. This year we also wanted some garland for around our front door, and they helped us understand style and length, and also showed us where and how to twist in holly berries to add some color - our garland worked out perfectly! Super friendly and respectful people - and everyone was extra careful with wearing masks and gloves when necessary. Recommend for Christmas trees, garland, and good service!

Going to Sneed's Nursery is the highlight of my day. So many beautiful and healthy plants to choose from, and the staff can help you find what you are looking for. Employees wear masks, and the carts are cleaned after each customer.
