    Longest review of my life. Don't waste time reading it, just call Cornelius for Design AND Installation. You will pay more per plant than if you did it yourself, unless you consider the time spent finding the right plants in the size/shape/quantity/ health, and don't mind Houston traffic getting them home. "You get what you pay for." and I got plenty. My challenging yard: small, narrow, asymmetrical, with an HOA-mandated fence (cute but low, so zero privacy) and typical N. Houston compacted clay. Now, I myself am also challenging, so I wanted everything: year round color, plants that are pest and freeze resistant, aromatic. I also wanted a place for me to grow flowers for cutting, another for my dog's need to be a dog, a place for socializing less likely to annoy neighbors, and keep my Flemish Giant Rabbit safe from predators and my garden safe from him eating everything down to the roots. On my own I spent thousands and no one was happy. Ten letters from the HOA later, I admitted my artistic imitations and called Cornelius/Calloways Nursery for design services. $500 for consult. ("Hmmmm, steep." I thought... " I'll get their plan and do it myself." Yah. No.) Melissa Rothacker, Landscape Architect (equal parts artist, scientist and counselor) took copious notes before even asking to see the yard, and never made me feel like a twit for a yard covered in the 4 ft high raised beds (unsuccessful attempt at bunny proofing), my questionable design choices and the pest inviting over crowding. Rothacker's plant selections gave and design gave me more than I thought possible: a variety of natives, mostly evergreen, for year-round color; large full shrubs for privacy, all mature enough to withstand some rabbit nibbling; a discrete but lush perimeter for the dog; and the perfect spot for a fruit tree/flower garden. Dylan Cody of Cornelius Nursery (part saint, part high school principal) sourced a broad variety of plants, shrubs, trees and vines of just the right size for everything to be in balance from the start. The prices for plants and materials were fair, upfront and consistent. I was able to break up the installation into three phases for my budget: front yard, back yard, and side yard. The installation was performed by the star team assembled by Esteph Christison (owner of Kings Garden), and overseen by Calloways' super plant guru, Dylan Cody, both of whom frequently consulted with Designer Melissa Rothacker by phone. (She came in person several times to see for herself and/or listen to my concerns as the project unfolded. Having all three professionals invested in the project's success was amazing. The level of care, expertise, of these professionals, and Cornelius' replacement guarantee (I would still pay for transport and installation if something dies, but we have already had a share of Houston weather events and everything is thriving) made it a pleasure to watch the project unfold. They source the plants, shrubs and trees from nurseries far and wide, and were able to get the type and size needed to have everything grow harmoniously. Because natives were chosen, my yard is bursting with life already: bees, birds, and tons of beneficial insects, so I don't have to treat the yard with pest control. (serious issues with white flies for two years... Now? Zilch. ) The installation crew all the did the heavy lifting (and digging) with good cheer and care for my pets and property. They also really know plants. No shortcuts were taken. Irrigation system corrected adjusted for plants' needs. Land regraded, and all plants were put in place with tailored soil conditioners, and amendments in the ideal location for sun exposure and air circulation. I could have saved time, heartache, and money if I had just called Cornelius/Calloways first, but when I did, I got an absolute dream team So, no regrets - Just me sippin' tea, with my happy dog and rabbit in my gorgeous Texas cottage garden!! BTW: Did you know HOA letters are compostable?

    Free water! Especially needed on hot  days.

    It's always a pleasure coming here, especially when I have a coupon from Calloway email. The flowers and plants are priced fairly. I'm always provided with excellent service.

    Love the plants that Jeff helped me pick out for our business! Thank you so much. I've had shoulder surgery so I had to ask for some help and everyone was willing to help for the most part. The lady that rang me out was friendly she was new but she kept directing me to Jeff who was able to answer my questions. They have a huge selection of quality plants and pots. Definitely more expensive than Walmart but I hope that the quality of the plants will be worth it!

    Flowers for Days!!!

    This is my go to on finding knowledgeable staff and anything I need for my Landscaping! Cliff runs a top-notch business! From fertilizer, herbs, flowers you name it! I'm definitely going to have to bring the Hubby back to take a look at those metal flying Ducks!!! If you haven't been to Callaways in a while, may a return visit! You won't be disappointed! Tell Cliff, Carmen send you! oxo

    Great shopping experience here today! Great selection and minimal crowd, presumably the rain scared off the other gardeners! Whatever it was I will take it because for a Saturday, they were slow and I got in and out quickly with a great selection and great service! If you are looking for a great nursery with knowledgeable and friendly staff, I cannot recommend Calloway's enough! Be sure to join their gardening club because they send you specials via email that make your gardening more affordable!

    Great potted arrangement!

    I was looking for potted plants as a gift. After checking out some chain stores, I called Calloway's and they had about 15 different items and said they typically keep giftable potted plants all the time. The selection was really nice, I think some might have been for Valentine's Day. The prices were reasonable, around $30-60 for a potted plant garden. Great value and well-made. Definitely lasted longer than ones from the florist. I also needed a stick and paper due to it being a gift, and they had it available and were so helpful. I will definitely come back to buy my next plant and I recommend you stop by for any of your plant needs!

    The best part of our purchase today was meeting Cliff, who was so knowledgeable about chiminea.

    This place is going from a 5 to a 2 for me. If you are into retail, you are in the service…read morebusiness whether you like it or not. While this place has gotten better in selection and value with its new ownership, my experience has been that it has gone down the toilet in customer service, at least at the register. I have shopped here for years and never had a problem with anyone, was always impressed by the selection and even the value. But one bad experience can change the whole impression of a place and and destroy years of reputation building in a consumer's mind. So here is what happened. Two visits ago we were hounded by them to join their loyalty program and while I hate the spam that usually comes along with joining those things, we went ahead and joined as it seemed important to the business. This time when we came, my wife forgot and did not tell them we were members when she approached the register. UNLIKE THEIR COMPETITORS, THEY DID NOT ASK IF WE WERE MEMBERS. After the transaction, my wife remembered and informed the person at the register (who I believe is one of the owners) that she was a member and got a truly shockingly bad response from a customer relations perspective. She was told that it was too late, and that it was her responsibility to tell them before the transaction and that they could not add the purchase points to the membership. To be clear, while not getting the points is part of it, the biggest part of it was the attitude with which this was put back on us. Seems like a little thing I know, but it's the little things become big things that affect whether I ever want to return to a place that we literally have spent thousands of dollars at in the past.

    Plants & Planters always has such a great selection of plants, houseplants and lots of plants for…read moreoutdoors as well. There are also some really cute decorations for you yard or patio area, like this adorable Groot planter and some colorful cacti that would make a great addition to any outdoor space. There was not as big of a selection of herbs as I would have liked but they have a house plant area that has some beautiful variations of begonias, pothos, and so many other variety of plants. If you are in the Richardson area you must certainly pop in and see what you can find to add life and color to your home.
