So glad to have found this place. Did not find the exact size pot we were looking for, but they had a ton of choices in a wide range of prices. We loved how organized the sections were and almost everything was labeled. It is a definite go to for us to get some of the plants we love without outrageous prices. Workers were helpful when needed and we will definitely be back.

One of the best nurseries I have been to in all of Houston! Wide variety of plants. Decent pricing. Clean and well cared for. Very super decor and ambience. VERY VERY well organized with themed sections. They even have a Plant Bar - you can get pots purchased their drilled, clean up your pots, repot, etc. The staff are so friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They answered so many plant care questions for me. They have 2 deck trollies available throughout, and cardboard trays for your plants to carry. They sell pots and other decord items, as well as soil, seeds, plant food and supplies. They even have a roll of Car protecting plastic sheets. They even have a loyalty program and for your birthday month you get $10 off. Overall, BEST experience and super happy with my purchases and service.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this nursery for years, and they continue to impress me every single season. Their plants are always healthy, vibrant, and beautifully cared for—truly the best selection you’ll find anywhere. Come Christmas, their trees are unmatched: fresh, fragrant, and long-lasting, the kind that make your whole home feel festive. What really sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping you find exactly what you need. Whether I’m choosing seasonal flowers or hunting for the perfect Christmas tree, they go above and beyond every time. A wonderful local business that I’m grateful to support. Highly recommend!

The prices are bananas. Saw a $60 Monstera that Home Depot had for $30. Same size. Same quality. The $75 ZZ 10” was enough to make me bail without a purchase. Yikes! Seems to have a great selection and kind team members, though.

Good parking. Lots of variety. The staff is super helpful. One garden center staff stopped me today bc they noticed most of my cart was native plants for our area but that one variety of coneflower grew better in the Texas Hill Country than in Houston. It was great. They saved me from buying a plant that likely wouldn't have survived in my care. I wish the information cards on the plants have more information, but everything is organized well and easy to look up or ask someone about. I've called about fertilizer options for my live oak, and they were great on the phone, too.
