White Forest Nursery

It's a bit of a drive to White Forest Nursery, but it is ALWAYS worth it! We needed a few Mexican Sage plants for the front planter. We thought about the big box store. The advantage of White Forest is you get to wander around the grounds, and there are a lot of grounds. Everything is so healthy looking.One caretaker (I don't know, do you call them gardeners?) was friendly and helpful. He got us a cart and showed us what we were looking for. We were thinking of just getting one gallon plants, but lucky for us, they had the 5 gallon size on sale. There are always specials, and if you look you can find some real bargains.They have a wide seed selection. There are decorative planters, You can get everything from small items to full grown trees.And, did I mention the sheer fun of wandering the grounds?

It was very hot out, but I enjoyed the grounds. The staff was very helpful and friendly. One of there employees helped get my water plants for me, and then we walked to a different area, a butterfly hitched a ride! I'd go back again. He even picked small plants for me since my table top foundation is very small. I also bought the local honey they sell from down the road!

We drive out here a few time every few months and always find some amazing plants. The staff is super friendly and always there and helpful and actually there unlike other big box stores. They have a selection second to none and we always get a trunkful when we are here and always leave happy great p

White Forest Nursery feels like the secret garden. They have a large selection of flowers, trees, succulents and so much more! They have gorgeous arrangements as well that can get pricy, but the rest is reasonably priced. I love the White Forest Nursery because the prices are good, the plants are always well taken care of, and the people are very helpful. For instance, if you need help loading your things or have questions the experts are happy to help. I truly enjoy shopping here it's a relaxing experience.A plus for the kids is that they have a little snack bar. So the kids can get a snack to munch on to keep them happy while you make your selections..

I am extremely unhappy to say this is my 4th year as a customer & my last. I've been a frequent customer at White Forest Nursery since I purchased my 1st home in October 2020. I've spent thousands purchasing hundreds of plants including: annual & perennial flowers, shrubs, deciduous trees, fruit trees, citrus trees, & vegetables. I visited multiple times a year, & especially looked forward to the vast bareroot selection during winter. I had recently visited on 1/30/23 to buy a bareroot tree rose & persimmon tree. It was cold, wet, rainy, but I still decided to drive all the way from the Southwest to visit my favorite nursery. Happy with my new plants, I called my mother to say how great this year's selection was. We decided to return a few days later, (2/2/23) to purchase 3 more tree roses. My mother is a retired agricultural biologist who worked with the county for over 30 years. She also spent an abundant amount of money at this business over the years. After selecting our roses, we wandered the property & noticed there were dozens of ripe citruses on the trees & on the ground. In the past, we've been told by MULTIPLE employees that customers are allowed to sample ripe fruit. My mother picked a tangerine when a man walked towards us asking if we were "here just to eat fruit?" We replied, "no, we're enjoying shopping, are we not allowed to?" He chuckled & said  "only if you buy the tree.... ha.. that's not funny..." as he walked away. He never clearly informed us that picking fruit was against company policy. Thinking he was joking, my mother picked another tangerine, when he started yelling, "OUT, OUT! OUT! YOU NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW!" Aggressively waving his hands in the air like we were LIVESTOCK, not PAYING CUSTOMERS. Since my mother worked for the county, she identified this man as the OWNER, JERE WHITE. He then muttered that the ripe fruit on the trees were selling points, & he can't sell trees if people keep picking their fruits. If he had explained this in complete sentences & talked to us like we were adults from the start, we would have most definitely refrained from picking! I'd also like to say 2 out of 3 of the citruses I purchased in the past were not fruiting, but that did not dissuade this once loyal customer from buying them. I cannot believe how inappropriately & crudely he handled this situation. Of all people, the OWNER should be ashamed of reacting so tactlessly by raising his voice & banshing customers without first explaining the rules. As humiliating as this was, I see how socially incompetent he was & the blatant disrespect he has for his patrons. He immediately misjudged us, a registered nurse & retired biologist, deciding he did not need nor value our business. I have plenty of other nurseries I am loyal to. Bolles will be seeing me more often; I'll save gas by only driving 15min each way compared to 30min. My family will NEVER go out of our way to buy a single plant here ever again. All the other employees always provided great customer service, but we can no longer support the business of such a crass owner.

Absolutely wowed me the first time I visited! Wonderful selection of plants. Excellent quality. Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend~

Love coming here. Always have exactly what I'm looking for, even when I don't know what I need. Haha. Super friendly and personable staff. Great local shopping experience

Best service & very Knowledgeable. Created a very special yard for our home for over 30 to 40 years. Congrats on retirement, you will all be missed. The Fambrough family.

Today we went shopping for plants. We stopped at two nurseries and did not find anything we wanted. So we called White Forest before going to make sure they had what we were looking for. The gentleman assured us that they had a good selection and encouraged us to come by.We are very glad that we did. Not only did this nursery have the best selections of healthy plants, but many of the nursery staff were very helpful, unlike our experience at the other nurseries. We were offered expert recommendations to guide our purchases. At checkout, Justin was very helpful and friendly. We are delighted with our plants and the excellent customer service, from start to finish. You can count on White Forest Nursery for all your gardening needs.

Had our first trip to this nursery but it definitely won't be our last! Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable! Jasmin, Erin and Scott were very helpful! There was so much to choose from we absolutely need some specialized guidance. George was instrumental in guiding us in just the right direction. He was able to narrow down all the things we had in mind to just a few. His knowledge about the plants helped us come to a decision we were extremely pleased with.
