Spring Hill Nurseries Review 

Spring Hill's rating came in at 73 with a C grade for our latest update this month. Spring Hill Nursery has been around since 1996, and has a site that is pretty easy on the eyes & simple to get around on. 

Spring Hill Nurseries Google customer reviews are rough. As of November 1st, 141 Google reviews with an average of 2.0 stars.  Most were unpleasant comments on plant quality. Shipping times also seemed to be a big issue.

Spring Hill Nursery sizes we saw ranged from 4" to 1 gallon containers. It's not easy to find a listing for just evergreen shrubs or evergreen trees.  Overall, they appear to have a decent selection of trees, shrubs & perennials.

When we checked on October 1st, Spring Hill Nurseries prices seemed really high. They are running a promotion where you get $25 off on orders over $50. Still, $79 for a 3 foot bare root redbud tree is crazy. Even $54 (after the $25 discount offered) is more then I would ever want to pay. A 2-quart container sized Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree was listed at $79.99. You would pay $54.99 after the discount.  Of course they charge the ship cost of the regular total price, not the price you actually pay. That is just not good business practices in our opinion.

Spring Hill shipping rates were also on the lower end compared to other online nurseries.  For a $100 order, you would pay $15.95 shipping. 

The return policy is a bit unique and his seems to have been changed recently. Spring Hill apparently issue replacement certificates; "Order with complete confidence. We select and ship only the finest quality bulbs, plants, and trees. We pack them carefully to ensure they arrive safely. If you are not pleased with your purchase, please call or email us and our Customer Service representatives will be happy to help you obtain a merchandise credit. Your order is important to us, and we want you, our customer, to be completely satisfied."

Harder to find these days but you can join the Spring Hill Nursery mailing list to receive catalogs here.

They seem to have a pretty thorough library of planting guides, how-to videos and other resources.

What were the red flags?  

• The pricing and site promotions are a bit tricky.  Charging $90 for a 1-gallon container tree is a bit absurd. 
• They are getting hammered pretty hard on Google with negative customer reviews. That's never a good sign.
