This place is incredible. If you don’t live close, 100% worth the drive (I’m in Cedar Park). Excellent selections of succulents and tropicals, and reasonably priced (for Austin). The customer service is excellent, and the place has an awesome “Austin” vibe.

Great selection of healthy plants (flowers, succulents, many houseplants, and more!) and a variety of pots backed by a very helpful and friendly staff! They obviously care a lot about their plants and it shows!

Love this place! Great variety of plants, seeds and all manner of accessories. Fun to wander and look at everything. I also like that most plants can be seen in large size but the option to buy a small version is usually there.
