Blue Ridge Hydroponics and Garden Supply - Salem, Virginia

Hidden 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 Roanoke area.

“To AC Infinity and Beyond!”
Small Businesses are the Underdogs in this world of corporate domination, having to hussle much harder to win the customer. That’s the Effort I received from Brynnen, Jeremy and Paul at Roanoke’s very own Blue Ridge Hydroponics, from initial introduction to picking up the product at their beautiful facility, the Smile never left my face. Caught the Owner Brynnen going out the door at closing on Tuesday and She took the call anyway. Expressed my needs, She Listened Critically and offered to look into my request and call me the next day. True to Her word, She called at noon and informed me of Her findings, you don’t get this kind of Personal Service at “Plants-R-Us”.

After some research, I decided to purchase a “Spider Farm” Complete grow tent. While Brynnen and I finalized the purchase of soil and nutes, for “Shits and Giggles” I asked if she had something comparable (Boy am I Happy I did!). After conducting Extensive Product Research, Brynnen chose to offer “AC Infinity” products exclusively because of their Superior 360* industry leading Performance. The AC Infinity product is slightly more expensive, but Brynnen was able to explain the advantages of owning a product of this quality (I only plan to buy a grow tent Once and want the Most Flower for my Dollar). “Long after the cost is Forgotten, the Quality Remains“.

It was discovered while assembling my order, that the wrong in line fan had been quoted. Brynnen contacted me and the Resolution was to provide me with the proper fan/ digital monitoring system at No Additional Cost to myself (This is what I’m talking about, a company with Accountability and Ethical Business practices, looking to build long term Relationships w Customers).

Sunday I had the pleasure to drive over to the shop and pick up my items. Besides Jeremy’s pleasant and informative nature, I was impressed by the Abundance and Diversity of stock on hand. If you need it, they have it in stock.

A Sea of “Fat Fucking Buds” 🥳 is what awaits me in 3 months w my Purchase of High Quality AC Infinity products and the Follow up Support offered by the Blue Ridge Hydroponics Team. Support the little guy, or in this case the girl… 🙂 GO Small and Support your Neighbors.

New customer. Great place and a nice selection on many items. Very knowledgeable staff for sure. Brynnen, Jeremy, Paul and Sparkles are great and super friendly - Sparkles is for sure my favorite, lol. I'd bet if there was an employee of the month contest, Sparkles would win every month 😉 #shoplocal

Thanks to the team at Blue Ridge for their help with selecting two great products. I wanted to try hydro tomatoes so I started all these in the same soil and transplanted to the peat pods. I fed a light solution of grow big and here we are. The comparison pic is after a week.

Yeah 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 on my podcast!

Very helpful with creating special orders! All of the staff are competent and friendly (including Sparkles✨) Worth the hour drive for me 🙂

Very helpful folks! I stopped in originally to grab some soil, but vowed to come back when I needed to grab other supplies.

I went back a few weeks ago to see what the had for liquid nutes, as I am flipping from soil to coco. The associate spent a good time answering all my dumb question, and got me set up with a starter, that had everything I needed give it a try.

I've since been back to get additional pH control and to get some grove bags for curing and storage.

These folks know their tomatoes 🍅, and willing to help a dummy like me without ripping me off.

My new favorite spot for indoor/outdoor garden supplies!

Ps, if you can pay with cash, it is helpful, but cards are accepted.

They have all of the good stuff, and they are knowledgeable. The owner and crew are good people.
