I really appreciated that they grow their own plants and trees. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions without making me feel pressured. Ashley was especially wonderful and made my visit a great experience. Because of the excellent customer service and welcoming atmosphere, I'll definitely be coming back to buy my plants and trees here. Highly recommend!

Really disappointed in the service here, but just as disappointed in the selection. The girl…read moreworking here had no clue what she was doing and there wasn't anyone else more experienced around to talk to. She was either on her phone or using it to look up the questions I had about a few plants they had. Either way, off putting and completely useless. Also (for those looking): They also do not grow/stock veggie starters or any herbs really. Very minimal and overpriced selection of old, basic Texas yard plants and a dusty little succulent and houseplant tent. This was the third time I have been here in 2 years and nothing has changed for the better. Not worth it, I do not recommend this place and I won't be back.

The best part of shopping here is the staff--they're knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer every question I have about plant care. I've spent a small fortune on plants, soils, succulents, and pots, but it's absolutely worth it. The Natural Gardener has become one of my true happy places, and I especially appreciate the free monthly classes they offer. It's a wonderful spot for both new and experienced plant lovers. Highly recommend!

If you purchased a LivingSocial deal for Garden-Ville, I wouldn't recommend cashing it in at this…read morelocation. If you insist, you must print out your voucher before coming. I didn't, having never done so for any other Living Social deal, but this location of Garden-Ville doesn't "have the scanners and equipment to redeem" from a smart phone. To which I said, "Well, I wish you'd have mentioned that when I called half an hour ago." You shouldn't even need such equipment - the employee just didn't know what to do. So I drove home empty-handed, having wasted an hour (and 30 miles). I'd just hoped for a nice drive and to check out a different garden shop. But this place isn't a garden shop, it's only really set up for dealing with contractors and wholesale operations, not individuals. Again, I wish their web page or the LivingSocial deal had made that clear. So, 1-star experience. However, the price list looks promising. And the just-learned fact that Garden-Ville is the composting and recycling component of Texas Disposal Systems is redeeming.

Since the Natural Gardener had to quit selling bulk soil, I've been looking for a new place…read more Gardenville has a number of choices and all at a decent price. They sell everything from fill soil to compost to rocks. My first problem is that my truck is just a 90's mini truck. They don't sell soil by the half yard. I tried putting a yard of their Superior Soil in my truck and about a half yard in, the truck couldn't take any more. The guy was cool enough to stop filling the truck and he charged for about a half yard. Would be nice if I could just get a half yard. My second problem is that their products aren't exactly the greatest. The Superior Soil was acceptable I suppose. I'm used to getting Revitalizer from Natural Gardener, and Gardenville's Superior comes up short in comparison. They did have a decent deal recently on shredded mulch and the mulch was fine. The location has been paring down their offerings. They had a crazy sale to liquidate all of their pots. Now they're selling all of their tools. Not sure if they're focusing on the bulk business or what.

I can't say enough good things about ATX. We lost a tree to the recent drought, and after…read moreresearching local options, visited their RR12 location. The gentleman we initially met at their yard gave a tour of all the trees in his golf cart, asked us several questions about what we were replacing, and what we thought we would like to replace it with. He stopped frequently to identify the different trees, provide all the pros and cons of each variety, whether they were particularly suitable for where we live, etc. We didn't feel rushed, he was exceptionally pleasant, and was happy to answer all our questions. When we decided what type of tree we wanted, we were handed a flag, picked out the exact tree we liked best, and they delivered it in a matter of days. Their crew was friendly and efficient, and for a reasonable fee, cut down and removed the dead tree. They were finished in no time, and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. They only asked for payment when the old tree was gone, the new tree was planted, staked, watered, and we were 100% satisfied with their work. I really didn't think this level of customer service existed anymore. Go see them. You won't regret it.

Since Carnivero did not participate in the event, we decided to make the trip to their nursery to see what they had available. Just like our first previous visit, we thoroughly enjoyed browsing their impressive selection of carnivorous plants. We were amazed by how healthy, vibrant, and beautiful all of their plants looked. I completely lost track of time while carefully admiring and inspecting their fascinating collection of exotic carnivorous plants. During our visit, I picked up a tiny Tillandsia, commonly known as an air plant or sky plant. This evergreen flowering plant is incredibly low-maintenance, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, making it an easy and interesting addition to any plant collection. Overall, it was another satisfying visit to Carnevero. We enjoyed admiring the wide variety of exotic and new plants they have for sale. It is always worth the drive to this hidden gem outside the Austin area.
