Reviews
"Love this place! The energy is always positive and plants always healthy!!! Support local, would recommend to any plant lovers"
"What a great visit! I needed to plan for at least a 2 hour trip to look at everything. They have great variety of houseplants and perennials, yard and landscaping plants. Soils and pots and yard art! I must visit! You won’t be disappointed!"
"Our go to plant shop in Austin. They are very knowledgeable and the staff is friendly. There stock is very healthy and great condition. They have some pretty rare plants also. Definitely will recommend. We always go at least 2-3x a month."
"Going through college, having little money. I used to landscape. It started out as just extra cash, then became a partner in a business that catered to quarter acre to 20 acre properties, some commercial. I became a frequent purchaser at many locations that offered supplies. While this location doesn't cater to bulk purchasers like others, it does, however, offer the little gems and hard to find items that go nicely with the native Austin weather and diverse soils found from the hill country to the lowlands, to the regular household's zen garden or apartment porch. The staff are very friendly, and also very kind. They mix in with the plants, so to speak, and and helpful and not at all pushy. The staff is also very knowledgeable about the products being sold. The products themselves are hearty, cared for, pruned, and show growth that is naturally occurring. This is unlike what you find at the larger chain superstores or grocery markets. I felt like I was walking into my own little area of a.garden that I could call my own. If this place existed back when I sold and maintained landscaping contracts, the little items (or large) that could make a property unique and artistic would have made my life so much simpler. You can pick just about anything if you are zero-scaping, or create a centerpiece to show off. All the makings are there for adding a unique touch or the very foundation of any project; retouching, rebuilding, creating, or maintaining. This place is such a find, I spent over an hour just looking for flaws. There were none. Everything is naturally balanced. It's a small location. Yet it lives up to its name."
