A beautiful garden and landscape store with a bountiful array of products and amiable staff. Bought everything that we came for and had lots of help from the staff whether it was advice for picking out the right trees to plant or loading them into the truck. Also a very attractive store; shelves lined with products and a waterfall with koi pond outside.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. And reasonable prices on their fruit trees. 🌳
EDIT: the owner reached out and graciously offered a refund on the plants. Upon returning to the store, I saw that they had a lot more healthy succulents and decided to get two more plants instead of having them refund my money. Staff was very kind and helpful and I appreciate them fixing their mistake.I havent visited this store in a while but I bought a couple of plants there today that I wish I would have inspected more closely before purchasing.One of the plants has powdery mildew on it, and the string of dolphins I purchased (for full price) that was in incredibly rough shape already (I naively thought I could rescue it) was dried out and upon further inspection, i found that it is inundated with mealy bugs. Im mad that I paid full price for two plants that are going to cost me a lot more to try to rehabilitate. Oh, and they dont accept returns on houseplants. I cannot recommended them for their plants.
I recently moved to Hendersonville and have been looking for a garden center with consistent, quality customer service and decent prices. So far Ive visited almost every nursery in the entire area and must say that Jesse Israel is by far the best. Employees are genuinely nice and extremely knowledgeable/helpful, and prices are very competitive... probably the best Ive seen in WNC.
I was hoping they would have a wide selection of succulents but there was only a few. It could be that i was there late and also because of whats going on. Coz they did had an emtpy green house. They do have a wide selections of other plants and i was able to find some of what i have been looking for. They also have planters and soils. It is a little pricey. They were also helpful and nice.
I went looking for garden art; there were a few priests and monks that I wouldn’t have in my garden; but when I explained what I want, they offered to call me when they got one. Everyone was very helpful, especially the nice lady who explained the chlorosis of my gardenias, and explained that they don’t carry what I call “real gardenias” that are not generally hardy, but had frost proof “daisy gardenias” that I might like—so I bought one. The place is a treasure house of everything garden! If they charged admission I’d pay. A great place to wander around in, and I’ll bet you find something you must have! Cheers!
Good products you cant find anywhere else plus a Crackerjack staff.
I was reluctant to post this because I am not one to complain however, the more Ive thought about it the more I felt something needed to be said. I was there yesterday with my elderly father who has a hard time walking or standing for very long. He has to use a cane and sit often. I was trying to purchase the things I needed to plant some raised tomato beds for him and my mom. As I was trying to make my purchase my dad sat down on a bench inside the store. He was approached by one of the employees and told The husbands waiting benches are outside for you to sit on. I had to help him up off the bench and we left. I pray that you give your employees sensitivity training so that they may be more compassionate to the elderly or anyone with disabilities. Have a blessed day.
The best of the best. I took my succulent there for some TLC. They spent a lot of time giving it care and educating me. I couldnt have been happier with their service. Above and beyond.
Fantastic place for gardeners... they really have EVERYTHING. We love to go here and explore. We found Bush raspberry plants (bought three) also a few interesting plants for our pond (and another fish!). If I had the dough Id transform our gardens with goodies from these helpful people. Here are the raspberry bushes in with our winter squash by the driveway.
Such a fun garden spot with lots of options to choose fun. The staff are nice too! Come find some plants for your home and garden as well as high quality supplies. Especially for specialty plants they have the different potting mediums.
Large variety of plants and garden goods. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Extremely helpful staff and a well organized retail space. All plants are well taken care of, and theres a great selection of garden tools and decor.
No better garden center exists in the world. Peaceful and overflowing with life, I will always patronize this family owned and operated establishment over the big box stores. Truly the best!
Very helpful and knowledgeable employees. It made for a pleasant experience.
This is such a wonderful place that is kind of a hidden gem. The owners and their help genuinely care about your needs and helping you. And if they cannot find what you need there they will go out of their way to help you find it elsewhere. I highly recommend this place!!❤️
Spend your money here rather than hardware/ big box stores. Healthy plants tons of nutes. Nice place
Love this place! Well stocked and friendly staff.
Great garden shop, great selection of annuals, perennials and indoor plants. They have containers, garden decor, seeds, anything you could want.
Awesome as. Always
Diana was most helpful with suggestions and quite friendly.
Beautiful selection of pansies and snapdragons.
Love this place. Even if they dont have what u are looking for, there are always other things of interest. Wide selection & plants are in the best of shape. U wont leave empty-handed!
A little pricey but great selection of plants that may not be available at the big box stores. Their friendly staff is very knowledgeable! Plus they are open 7 days a week!
I love this place.Not going to mention how much I’ve spent here... I am not the most experienced plant person, despite how many I buy, but I still haven’t killed anything from here! The succulents are all healthy and aesthetically pleasing and the soil is great quality. One time I found a decapitated tip (not even an inch long) that didn’t belong with any succulents on the floor, and when I went to give it to the gardener to propagate, he told me I could have it!! Made my day. The greenhouse must get the perfect amount of light because the plants in there are gorgeous and I haven’t noticed any looking sun-starved. I don’t think the prices are extreme compared to other places. Some of the pots are expensive, of course.P.S. found my monstera deliciosa about a month ago here! It was huge but only $40. I’ve since split it in two and it’s still going strong. Fingers crossed.
I only had questions, no purchase, and they patiently answered them all.
I love Jesse Israel and Sons Nursery. They have a wide array of plants to choose from. Anything from indoor to outdoor from shrubs and trees to flowers and unique plants. Theyre indoor shop is full of great products for the garden. A little expensive but well worth it. And always fun to follow up at Jesse Israel after a trip inside the farmers market for some fresh vegetables and fruit.
People go here to by plants not to be lectured on wearing mask or social distance. You lost my business. Shove your mask..
What an amazing find this place. Its full of made in USA products which is hard to find because most items are from Communist Made in China where Im from (NJ).Service and staff are friendly
The Jesse Israel team has the expertise to help you with all your plant needs. They are our go-to when we need someone to help us make decisions for planting.
Excellent place for plants & other nice plantings,
I didnt shop much but based on the credit card receipt and the load in the car, and the smile on my wifes face, I know we will back.
# excellent 👌👏👍🙌
I originally gave 2 stars but after thinking about it the plants I got were great and the price was fair, the problem I have is the way they give VETERANS a discount; Im giving 4 stars just for my response below;It is a ONE DAY ONLY ON TUESDAYS, I called on Tuesday to see if they had what I wanted and they did, it was close to closing time and I asked if they would hold them for me if I paid for Over the phone they said no need they would hold them, I asked if they gave Veterans a discount, answer was yes, NO mention about Tuesdays only.I go up Wed morning to pickup and that was when I found out about discount. Me personally, not a good way to treat VETS.Just saying.
They have everything you need to make your garden grow. Awesome family owned business.
Very friendly and caring people even to our dog.
These guys have all your gardening answers
Asked by several employees if they could help me with anything and they all were genuinely interested in helping. Very nice selection of plants of all types, yard art, bird feeders, etc. Also carry carnivorous plants and pond plants and supplies!
Got my Vegetables Plants to plant this weekend after the cold front 🍅, bell peppers, hot peppers
Best nursery and the staff was awesome 😊
Great variety of plants and supplies plenty of items you will not find at the big box store
Always great and friendly place to shop. They always have what I am looking for.
Excellent selection in pond items, large ponds to small. Filters, pumps, test kits, fish food, barley, additives to stabilize water, nets. Lots of aquatic plants.Glen was a pleasure and so knowledgeable. He helped me so much picking items I needed.Also the gentleman in the ferns, was so nice and knowledgeable as well. Just a great experience.
I love this place! It truly is a gardeners paradise, so much to offer, so many unique plants and products! There is something for everyone here! My favorite is their vast selection of live pond plants and also carnivorous plants which are sometimes hard to find. Love this place! 😁🐝🌻🌲🌱🌷🐞🌵🍀🌴🌺🐛🏵🐜🌳🍎🍓🍅🌶🍇🌽🍆🍉🍐🍊🍋🍒🍏🏞🌞🌜🌦☮

Close to home, helpful staff, safe handling of COVID protocols, always well stocked.
Great inventory and staff. Very well organized.
Very friendly and helpful. Also, work hard with health guidelines, so dont forget to wear your face mask.
I love this place...I totally depend on this store year round...I always find the perfect gifts for whomever Im shopping for....all their staff are friendly and super knowedable... cant say enough about how happy I am, that l discovered this store years ago...if anyone dont believe me...just go there...the proof is in the pudding..
Fantastic variety’s and farmers market and Moose Cafe across the road too!
Great selection and helpful staff! As agardener, I think I could spend all day here. They have a great selection of vegetable starts, including lettuces. They even have the small starts which are great because you can get more for less! Everyone I have been there have been lots if staff and someone always asks if they can help! They have an greenhouse nursery too.
Quiet. Lots of evergreens, unusual ones.
Great place incredibly well kept. They have a great selection and a knowledgeable staff. Im excited to return for some more landscaping plants.
Great waterfall and pond store! The Koi are amazing! My only complaint is the selection of herbs and such is a bit limited.
Currently not paying attention to covid pandemic. Staff not wearing masks orphysically disancing, and no physical distancing or mask requirements for patrons. Kind of a shopping nightmare at this time.
In case you want to know where the plants come from, a great deal of the seeds or from Sow True Seeds- a local seed bank and many others come from independent heirloom seeds and seed banks. How many from Monsanto? NONE, ZERO. The plant selection included anything we could want in our garden as well as many decorative/ non-food use plants -which I couldnt justify spending money on at the time. The staff was so friendly and helpful in helping us start our garden, from plant care, to natural fertilizers, to the staging of planting. Love Israel& Sons. Well be going soon for tomatoes, peppers, etc.
Great selection and even better staff!
Nice selection with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Support local!
Always something botanical to enjoy here. Good to talk shop with my old friend and co-owner, Alan. I could easily talk horticulture with him all the day long.
Amazing selection! Employees are willing to help!
So glad to have found this place! They have unusual plants, like Meyers lemon trees and pitcher plants and others. Prices are wonderful, staff is very helpful. Love this place and will be visiting it again soon!
Just stopped on our way out of town. The selection at this time of year was understandably spare in perennials. However, I was very taken aback by how few houseplants there were. The day was redeemed however, as I found 2 Begonias I did not have. Also some lovely Cordyline discounted as well.
Beautiful plants, great service and professional advice/tips
Great selections of plants and superb staff to advise and help.
I was dumb enough to ask for help, and they take you straight to the most expensive plants on the yard. I felt like I was at a car dealership. Anyway, contrary to their assurances, the plant they recommended (and we bought) is not supposed to be planted in fall.
Great variety of plant life, & garden decor.
Staff was so helpful! They knew exactly where everything was and what they had in stock. They had just about everything plant wise you could ever want.
Love it very helpful always nice election selection
Busy wonderful assortment of plants for gardening, herbs and flowers. Customer assistance very good knowledge.
Wonderful local garden center with great selection, quality plants, and friendly knowledgeable staff.
Super helpful and friendly staff. One woman walked us around, listened to our needs, and helped us find there perfect ground cover for our backyard. Will return in the future for lawn and garden needs.
The Gardeners at this center are so helpful 😀
SueAnn loves Jesse Isreal nursery...its awesome,,,,I bought 2 rose bushes,dark purple & lemon yellow...green blossom lily bulbs,,awesome seeds even heirlooms,, hairy hen & chicks,old fashioned white thrift,beautiful dark blue Columbine
Wonderful selection and grand service. Bought our live Christmas trees there for 3 years in a row. Nurserymen available for advice. Worth the hour drive from home.
Fantastic place has everything you need for your garden
Lots of varieties of plants and good advice for local planting. Seeds, plants (vegetable and ornamental), pots, arranged pots, bonsai and succulents
This is a neat place at the ashville farmers market The new seeds and stuff is arriving for spring
Best garden center in the Southeast.
Great selection and expertise. Greenhouse is stocked with succulents and new sprouts in the off season.
This is the second year Ive purchased vegetable plants from them that were mislabeled. I needed red bell peppers for the sauces I can over the summer. What fruited were cowhorn. Not good in Italian sauces. I also purchased plums tomatoes that turned out to be mini yellow pear tomatoes, unsuitable for pasta sauce. Seems you dont get what you pay for at Jesse Israel.
Always great service and knowledge of their products.
Amazing nursery. Great selection of flower, gardening, landscaping, seasonal decorations. Adjacent to the Asheville Farmers Market.....
Great outdoor center... got some great statues at super prices
Great local garden center.
Almost always have what you need, and a lot you never knew you needed!
Nice people,very helpful,great selection of stuff
They have a wide variety of flowers vegetables herbs, Etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. They have seeds and Bulbs which are difficult to find in other places.
Great selection of quality, healthy plants
Everything you could want for your outdoor home stuff; prices vary is why i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, some things can be pricey. Great store though!!
Friendly staff, very helpful. Awesome range of plants
