    Polygala shrub

    This is the mother ship nursery for TX (the companies corporate head quarters is located in Vista CA)... the main head quarters (for TX)... the big Cheese... the lead wigwam. Yep located in Giddings TX is a 60 acre facility of Greenhouse grown plant products... from annuals, perennials, succulents, cactus, ground covers. Roses, shrubs, vines, etc etc. It was just a little pup not too long ago, but grew into a big dog over the last 5 years when a family owned company, named the Altman's, bought it and turned it into what it is today. Again this is not open to the public, but if you buy plants anywhere from the valley of TX to Dallas to Houston to Amarillo to Springfield MO to Little Rock AR to Tulsa OK or anywhere between... chances are you have bought plants that were grown right here. It is an amazing place filled with amazing people and plants... a truly great place!

    Bought 5 plants labeled Butterfly Weed with a picture showing the orange blooms, but when they bloomed I realized they were not butterfly weed but tropical milkweed with red/yellow blooms. I never would have bought them if I had known what they really were. No response to my emails to them yet. Very disappointed

    Have purchased [5] five 15 gal trees [water oak] over the past 3 years, and they have all thrived…read morebeyond expectations! Here in the Gulf Coast, it's "NOW IMPERATIVE" that you plant ONLY IN THE FALL [OCT is ideal], and NOT IN THE SPRING. Reason is, that the past few years have had [and MAY continue to have] BRUTAL SPRINGS [meaning... July/August HEAT in April/May]. A tree planted in the Spring has absolutely no chance to develop a new root system capable to supporting that tree for the rest of a [potential] very HOT year. A tree planted in the FALL will have upwards to 5-6 months of cooler/cold weather to grow a root system. Yes!! Trees continue to grow their roots even if they've dropped all their leaves. Notice that that 1 star review was made in May of '22; that was not the fault of BVTree Farm. That was the 1st year of high heat in Spring. Who Knew!! Times [weather] have changed, and we need to change as well. By the way, this is just my opinion, and I do not represent, and/or am I compensated by BVTree farm. I'm 83 yrs old, and I try not to make the same "mistake" twice; I purchased an [on-line/delivered from out of state] tree in Spring of '21, and it failed due to the NEW heat issue. I plan on purchasing a new tree this week, and will get that sucker in ground by mid Oct. Good luck with your choices..

    Bought two trees in early spring from them. One tree, the pecan, had no roots and the soil just…read morefell away from it when we tried to plant it. It never greened out. We paid over $100 for it. Talked to them and they don't do refunds or exchanges. Blamed it on "Mother Nature". Also they are not always open during stated business hours. Long drive out to find they are closed. Won't be doing business there. Buyer beware.

    Bloomers Garden Center - A beautiful cement bench to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. I brought my garden books to see if some of those plants were at Bloomers.

    If you know me, you know I'm a serious plant collector with a collection full of rare tropicals, so…read morewhenever I check out a plant shop, I'm looking for two things: knowledge and selection. Bloomers in Elgin delivered on both. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and actually knowledgeable about their plants (which makes a huge difference when you're hunting for anything uncommon). They were willing to answer questions and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Their rare plant selection is dope. There were so many unique plants to choose from, and even what they consider their "regular houseplant section" had plants you honestly won't find at most other shops in Central Texas. I found myself doing multiple laps because I kept spotting things I missed the first time. The greenhouse setup was beautiful and well organized, and you can tell they take pride in the health of their inventory. If you're new to plants, a seasoned collector, or somewhere in between, this place is absolutely worth the trip. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be back.
