  We had such a wonderful experience with Shady Grove Gardens. Phone and online communications were super efficient and the final products (5 buckets of fresh cut flowers, 3 boutonnières, 2 corsages and one brides bouquet) were so gorgeous!

  Highly recommend!
  I could not recommend Shady Grove Gardens more! They are very easy to work with, accommodating and most importantly they have beautiful, locally grown flowers to offer! My wedding flowers were one of my favorite parts of the whole event. Sent on 10/09/2021 Becca H.

  Susan did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! She made some arrangements as well as bouquets and boutonnières for our wedding. She also provided us with greenery and sunflowers so we could make our own table arrangements. She was quick to respond to any phone calls or emails and just lovely to work with! We highly recommend!

• Incredible Vendor
  I'm kind of clueless when it comes to flowers and I really didn't have anything particular in mind that I wanted for the wedding. My goal was to keep everything as low key as possible. Our venue recommend Shady Grove and I'm so happy that she did because they were exactly what I was looking for. 
  Susan created two amazingly beautiful bouquets for me and my maid of honor as well as corsages for our grandmothers and the rest of the arrangements we created from the buckets of seasonal flowers we purchased. I loved being able to support a local business that grows all their flowers and uses seasonal products. It was so much fun to be able to make the arrangements ourselves the day before the wedding. If we had lived closer, we definitely would've taken advantage of one of the arrangement classes. 
  Susan was also very flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and made the whole process very smooth. I would highly recommend her services!

• Taylor , married on 10/04/2019 Beautiful flowers!Shady Grove Garden & Nursery did an amazing job on my bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, and table center pieces! The flowers were beautiful and they really worked with me on a tight deadline. 
• posted 12/07/2019 Susan was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and helpful in helping me work through what the best plan for flowers for our wedding would be. I've never been a big flower person so I didn't want to break our budget on florals. We opted for having Susan do my bridal bouquet, bouts, and corsages. I was a little regretful after seeing how beautiful her arrangements were. We got her buckets for DIY bridesmaid bouquets (this was so fun for the girls!) and for the few cases we had for decor. Susan was patient with me when I was worried about how the color burgundy of flowers may clash with the color burgundy napkins we had. Lol... it's so weird the things you start to freak out about as you're planning your big day that - in the end - make no sense at all 😂 what was I thinking? Anyway, everything was beautiful and the only thing I regret is not having enough time to have met Susan myself to pickup our flowers. My uncle and cousins went to pick them up, met Susan and her husband, and their friendly cat! If you want someone who's easy to work with and easier on the wallet than most floral vendors in the area, Shady Grove Gardens is for you!  Brook

•  Reviewed On 7/25/2016 Brooke L. Shady Grove was fantastic! They grow beautiful flowers and created perfect centerpieces and bouquets for our wedding! Susan was a joy to work with and was very thorough in making sure she understood what we wanted for our wedding! She created a piece to hang on a large cross that was breathtaking! She also did a mixture of small & large centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres & filler flowers. We also used fresh buckets of flowers for our rehearsal dinner that we put together ourselves. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone in the high country to use Shady Grove for their special occasion!

The bouquet, boutonniere, floral arrangements and flowers for the arbor were gorgeous, and absolutely ideal for our mountain wedding setting. Not only were the flowers fresh, beautiful and perfect, you listened to and incorporated my preferences and prepared the flowers in record time with only a few days notice.
  
  Thank you for taking care of everything we needed and for delivering and setting up the flowers. We couldn't have hoped for anything better: beautiful flowers, delivered and set up on schedule at a reasonable price.

• Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery provided the flowers for our wedding at Camp Sky Ranch on June 16, 2012. Susan was wonderful to work with and really helped me figure out what we would need. Shady Grove provided local seasonal flowers for our wedding and they were gorgeous. We purchased several buckets of cut flowers to utilize for table decorations and pew markers. Purchasing cut flowers was a great cost-effective option. We picked the flowers up on Friday morning and my family and I arranged them as we wanted. Susan also offers individuals the option of a flower arranging workshop (with your purchased buckets) at her nursery if you would like. We also had Susan and Shady Grove Gardens make numerous larger flower arrangements and decorative pieces and our bouquets and boutonnieres. Everything that they provided was gorgeous! All of the flowers were exactly what we had hoped they would look like and really fit our venue and theme. Shady Grove’s flowers really added so much to the ambiance of our day--we could have not been more pleased with the outcome. Susan was very professional, full of ideas and suggestions, and very flexible. It was a pleasure to work with her! Shady Grove is a great value and a wonderful local vendor that is worth checking out for your wedding.

• We just got home from our honeymoon this morning. The flowers and everything about the wedding was gorgeous!! Thank you so very much for the beautiful assortment of vibrant flowers! The bouquets for my sister and I were stunning! They were perfect! I couldn't have imagined them better if I tried!

• I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my reception centerpieces, and that}s where your flowers were used. thanks again!! Kristen 2012
• Susan and Brent were so easy to work with. I only needed bulk flowers for my wedding, and they came through like champs. With some minor preferences from me, they set me up with the most beautiful and unique assortment of flowers for my July mounting BBQ wedding. It was exactly what I wanted. The flowers were so fresh! We sent many home with our guests and found that they were still beautiful a week later. When we got home from our honeymoon, our hydrangeas (!) were still lovely. You cannot go wrong with Shady Grove. 2012
• I was extremely happy I chose to use Shady Grove Gardens for my floral arrangements and wedding bouquets. Susan was so patient with me through the entire process. I kept changing my mind on colors, flowers, what arrangements I wanted...which ones I did not want anymore etc. etc. and she was so supportive (which is priceless!!) The bouquets and arrangments arrived early the day of the wedding and everything was as promised. Susan and Brent are such nice and honest people- I did not even notice that the flower girl petals that I had ordered were missing the day of the wedding. Actually, I did not even know that the petals were missing until I received an e-mail from Susan when I arrived home from the honeymoon stating that a reinbursement check for the flower girl petals was in the mail for me! I value honesty and have the utmost respect for someone who honors that quality. I was going for a rustic-romance theme at my wedding and the flowers that Shady Grove Gardens provided set the mood and captured the essence I was aiming for! Thank you guys so much! It was such a pleasure to work with you! Shannon 2012
• The flowers provided by Susan and Brent were absolutely perfect, and exactly what we hoped they would be-they tailored the colors and specific flowers to our exact wishes.

• Susan , our flowers were gorgeous for own May 31 Wedding. I'm so glad we worked with you! I have many of the vases here at the house with me and they are just so gorgeous.

• We had an eco-friendly wedding at a winery in Banner Elk North Carolina and decided to use organic, locally produced flowers that we opted to arrange ourselves. Shady Grove was very flexible with what we wanted and provided us with a beautiful array of assorted wild flowers that were grown 30 minutes from where we got married! Lindsey 2012
