PLANTS
Our selection of plants is unparalleled to other nurseries you’ll find in Central Texas. What makes us so unique is the fact that we grow a large percentage of our plants ourselves, right here in Austin, from locally collected seed and cuttings. We’re never afraid to try something new to see if it can take our sometimes harsh conditions, and if it can, we’ll try to grow more of it, offering it to you for a fair price and with the confidence that you can be successful with it.We offer possibly the best selection of plants from as small as 4” containers to 45 gallon trees. Let us help you find the right plants for your landscape or garden. Colorful annuals, hardy perennials, Antique roses, herbs, veggies, vines, shrubs, palms, agaves and cacti, trees, hardy succulents and one of the best selection of Natives to be found in Central Texas…did we leave something out? Well, we probably have that too. If you don’t find the plant you’re looking for or the quantity you need, we will keep a lookout for their availability and let you know if we were able to get it for you. While we keep our plants priced competitively, we always have a large amount of plants on sale. Be sure to check out our Sale Board just to the left of the entrance as you enter through the front gate.

POTTERY
Sitting amongst the expanse of the nursery is our unparalleled selection of pottery. Unglazed Terra Cotta pots and saucers are available in a range of sizes and we also carry Vietnamese pottery that comes in all different shapes and one of a kind glazes. We choose to carry Vietnamese pottery because of the high quality craftsmanship that goes into the production process as well as the exceptionally strong Vietnamese clay. Fired in wood kilns at 1400º Centigrade, these pots are especially durable and able to withstand freezing temperatures. The glazes are hand applied and therefore small differences do appear in the beautiful finishes, giving each pot a unique identity.
