Holly, Woods & Vines

I was very disappointed in the quality of the plants I purchased given how expensive they were. I bought 11 plants, 5 of which completely shriveled up and died within a month and 4 of which did poorly compared to cheaper versions I purchased at less high end stores. When I called to inquire about exchanging them, I was told that i could only get a 50% refund and that I needed to bring the dead plants. I’ll do that and take my half refund elsewhere.

I love this place! I collect orchids but they have a large variety of plants flowers, plant materials, bird feeding stuff, pots… the list goes on. I go here for my sphagnum moss, perlite, sand and bark. Check it out at least once, it won’t let you down.

Ew to the bad attitude my husband and I received from a cranky employee. We asked about a tree she left to «find someone» to help us (not sure why she couldn’t help us herself) and never came back. As we were leaving we saw her helping someone else. Not only was it hot as hell but we had our baby with us baking in the sun, the last thing we wanted was to wait around for her to help every other customer before us. There are plenty of other nurseries in the area. I’ll take my money and business elsewhere. Thanks for nothing rude bird.

One star on their customer service I was very excited to see their Manger special sign: shovels for $ 10.
I was on the way to Home Depot to buy one shovel for $ 25. Then I saw their manager special sign and of course stopped in.
There were no other customers in the store only the cashier person. I greeted her with a friendly, «Hello». Just the way she looked at me and the tone of her, «hello» back, it was a struggle to say hello to me. I asked how much was the shovel I picked out was. She said, «Ten Dollars.» I told her, «Fantastic I’ll take two shovels. I’ll pick up the second shovel on the way out.» As she is ringing up my order. I told her I was on my way to Home Depot to purchase one shovel for $ 25 and I was so excited to see the Mangers Special Sign. No response or even acknowledgement that I had said anything. She handed back my card. I said, «have a nice day.» She only said two words to me, hello and $ 10 it was an unwelcming experience.
Four stars on your Mangers Special.

Every year, the husbear wants the same thing for his birthday: a gift card from Holly, Woods, and Vines.
In terms of practicality, they’re a great deal. They have a discount for frequent customers. They deliver mulch and the boy loves his gardens. He’s always bringing home «new friends» (I.e. Plants) from here.
They carry a large assortment of quality garden tool and accessories. Nothing involving explosions, so it baffles me but it makes him happy and we see a lot of birds and butterflies in our yard. We also bought a birdhouse from them that ejects the squirrels every time they try to get on it. I think a nice Walther PPK 7 would really go well with that or at least an air rifle loaded with rock salt.
Don’t mess with my husband’s bird feeders. Meanwhile I will sit here drinking my coffee watching unhappy squirrels getting chucked into the trees.

Lovely family owned garden center… Love this place. Wonderful staff and great selection of plants and flowers. Staff is helpful and friendly, and everyone speaks English!!!

I have shopped here since before they were Holly Woods & Vines. In recent years, I have been disappointed with the annuals, which are consistently extremely rootbound. But they are close, and have a big selection. I went there a few weeks ago to refresh my annuals, and was surprised that the plants were still full price at the end of August. But I bought some anyway. Big mistake. Despite careful planting and watering, they have shriveled up and died. When I called, I was told the store does not guarantee their annuals. I guarantee I will not set foot in the store again.

Went here with no idea what I wanted and no clue how to achieve it and I left a gardener (maybe!) Steve was so very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. He walked me through the entire greenhouse abd wired with me until I determined what I wanted to do with my new patio. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get started. Ask for Steve and you’ll find your green thumb too!

Love this «hidden» gem. Hidden because it’s way down route one aka «the dark side» or «the other side of the beltway». :)
Great selection of plants and accessories. The staff are all incredibly nice and knowledgable. The prices are a but higher than some of the closer nurseries. Worth the trip

Unbeatable selection in NOVA, but staff appears uninterested in their customers. If you know what you need, and don’t mind hunting for an employee that will help you, this is the place.

We have had great success with finding what we want here and most of the plants have lived. Not a lot of help selecting, and checking out Maybe a challenge but it’s convenient and prices I’ve found are reasonable. Come early in the season for the best selection (obvious) or late for the sales. Be sure to look in the sheds for some fun items to decorate with. Discount program is usually worth getting.

I’ve never seen a garden center this big! And they have everything you could imagine: every kind of treeand shrub including fruit and berry, flowers clearly marked by amount of light and whether they are native, and an excellent staff that goes out of their way to help you. Just know how much light per day your site gets and at what time during the day, and they will help you pick plants perfect for your location and taste. They are a little on the expensive side but wait for a sale and you will be rolling!

This is a nursery with a very helpful staff. They have great knowledge. A little overpriced.

This is a nursery with a very helpful staff. They have great knowledge and expertise. I just think they are a little overpriced. I am going to give them another shot in a couple weeks once they start received more plants.

I was sent here by another business who knew what I needed and I am so glad they did. Holly, Woods and Vines is very large, well organized and the selection of plants, materials and accessories is terrific.
Steve who helped me yesterday is an excellent listener and knows how to direct a customer to plants that are a great match. This is a fun place just to look around but you will find something wonderful you need to have.

This excellent full-​service garden center has ample and helpful staff and a huge selection of plants and gardening supplies. They have a great selection of garden tools, hoses, pots, trellises, mulch, fountains, pond supplies, etc. There’s always a lot of interesting stuff to see.
I give them points for having a table labeled as Virginia native plants. However, the table often has some plants mixed in that are native to other places; they grow in the wild, but in different climates, regions, or countries. Plants native to the Chesapeake Bay region are actually there but are on several other tables in addition to the Virginia native table. If you really want local native plants, take a reference book with you, or ask to speak with a staffer who really knows the subject.
Holly, Woods & Vines has a discount program for a modest annual charge.

I stopped by to pickup some large planting pots and some plants for my yard but was amazed at how expensive they are. Nice assortment of inventory although I didn’t purchase anything.

I’ve lived in NoVa for three years, and had yet to find an awesome premium garden center. (I used to work part time at a luxury garden center in another state.)
Then I stumbled upon Holly, Woods, & Vines! Fantastic selection of premium plant material & pottery, lots of helpful staff, great supplies, and fun garden ornaments and furniture.
One unique highlight –they stock the most fabulous topiaries I’ve ever seen for sale in a nursery yard.

This place has it all. It seemed like an endless lot of just about anything garden related you can think of. I was suprised, I didn’t think they had that much. Nice, solid supply of healthy well cared for nursery stock!
The only reason why I didn’t give them 5 stars is to because of there limited supply of water gardening plants. The water lotus and other plants were small and a bit pricey compared to the selection they have out in Tysons at Merrifield Garden Center. Since they carry small and large Koi (and a nice supply of many other types of fish), I would have thought they would have tried to appeal to the water gardening/​pond group. Hope they add more! Either or, quality, friendly place!

Remember the saga of the lawn? The one that is sad and where plants are dying due to over shade/​lack of sun?
Thankfully, when my brother came to visit he brought his girlfriend who used to work for a landscaping firm. She recommended a plant/​tree called a Hardy (aka Hearty) Palm that grows in lawns like ours. We didn’t feel like making an exodus to Merrifield, so I asked some of my neighbors who recommended this place.
Once inside, I was glad to meet the owner. It is nice to meet a female garden care expert for a change. She certainly has added a feminine touch to the place. In and around the nursery are little scenes of plants, lawn ornaments and flowers set up in a way where you can actually imagine them in your space. Off to one side, there’s a fencing and edging display.
The tree/​room ornaments are so cute here. I snagged one for next year’s ornament exchange.
