Really great store and local resource for Roanoke, Salem and beyond. They have pretty much everything you need for indoor gardening. They even carry HLG lighting products which is super impressive! This is a one-stop shop for you to get everything you need to get up and running. It's not just soil and nutrients.... you can get everything from an inline fan, to fabric pots, to mycorrhizae, to Boveda packs and pretty much anything else you might be looking for. They have you covered from germination to curing.
But the most valuable resource I found here was knowledge. I haven't seen a store worker take so much time with a customer in a long time. Not just knowledgeable, but also kind, patient and supportive. You won't get any attitude here or feel stupid for asking a question. Just super positive vibes all the way around.
Let's all shop local and help our our business owners as much as we can. If you're about to order something online, call up Blue Ridge Hydroponics first and see if they have it in stock. They probably do and it's probably the same price as online, so support the local scene and go check them out! You will be...
Read moreHidden Gem for Gardening Supplies After relocating to Roanoke from Tennessee, I found myself hesitant about visiting this gardening supply store. My nervousness stemmed from a difficult past experience—in 2016, I was charged with a felony for cannabis-related offenses in Tennessee, resulting in 27 months in county jail. This was actually my first time stepping into a growing supply store since that challenging chapter of my life.
I'm genuinely glad I overcame my anxiety and visited this place for my gardening needs. Their soil selection is unquestionably the best in town! The quality and variety available exceeded my expectations, making it perfect for my current vegetable garden projects.
The staff was knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy, creating a comfortable shopping environment. The store layout made it easy to find exactly what I needed.
I'll definitely be returning for future gardening supplies. These days, I'm focusing exclusively on growing vegetables—tomatoes and peppers are thriving with their products!
5/5 stars - Highly recommended for any serious gardener in the...
Read moreYeah buddy! This is the spot for any grower no matter which level of experience you are at! The staff is super knowledgeable and willing to take the time beyond expectations.
I have worked with two of the staff members (3 if you count the pupper and I DO!) and they were just awesome.
I have tried and failed many times over the last few years and I did not achieve success until working with this crew.
Of course they are looking to make a sale, they are a business. That being said, they are not looking for the one time big sale. They really do want to build a relationship with their customers and help them to achieve victory!
I really appreciate that I was “felt out” for my know-how instead of being talked down to or conversely as if I knew everything just because I think I do.
I am excited to continue my grow relationship with this team and will certainly talk them up...
