[mMEDIUM DIOSCOREA ELEPHANTIPES ("Elephant's Foot")
Lisa S.

I recently purchased a medium Dioscorea Elephantipes ("Elephant's Foot") exotic succulent which arrived carefully wrapped and healthy. Dormant, as expected; a fascinating plant --I'm looking forward to when she wakes up and sprouts vines in the Fall!

This nursey has THE most expansive collection of succulents I have EVER seen! - mini sucs, giant sucs, weird sucs, cheap sucs, rare sucs, you name it! Succulents for every budget and taste! We bought the awesome-est lil succulent tree dude, they even potted it for us - and got to choose pretty colored stones to pot it with :) It was a $20 for the pot, $8 for the succulent, and $5 for the potting fee. You can tell the staff REALLY knows their succulents, and are so passionate about caring for these lil guys!

Cute succulents and a cute cat pot!

Amazing selection of plants plus some cool garden art (my biggest purchase was a metal horny toad ) plus if you spend over $40 I think it is you get to spin the wheel and I won two mini succulents! I totally needed more plants The staff was also very friendly and easy to ask questions of.

Rocks and stone for purchase

I love this place! I did not know this wonderful place existed but discovered it due to Instagram. Parking is a bit of a challenge so I parked across the street. There are so many options and various sizes. I spent $50 ordering the same amount of plants from Etsy and these are better. Such a great spot.

pots all bought there. top right plant also purchased there.

This place exceeded all my expectations. A huge number of plants, you could probably get lost in their garden. I loved how many small plants they had, with many being under $5. The star of the show for someone who likes to propagate plants was the many small pots they had for very low prices. They look like they have be reused or had mistakes with printing, but that really wasn't a concern for me. I spent about $40 and got a succulent, dirt, and 5 pots. I cannot wait to come back! (Once I have room for more plants...). The person who checked us out was so kind, and as we were leaving I overheard talk of cats. Another worker told me some of their hiding spots, and we did indeed find one. Bathroom isn't attached and a little hard to find, but we were happy they had one.

Succulent, planter bowl, and dinosaur from East Austin Succulents. Snake plant from Tillery Street Plant Company.

I picked a combination succulent, a lovely potting bowl, and a stegosaurus accent. Because my purchase was over $40, I was able to spin the wheel for a prize. I received a free additional succulent from the Buddha section and the lady at the counter was happy to add it to my combo. She repotted it for me in my new bowl and added pretty rocks of my choice. The whole experience was very pleasant. My friend and I look forward to returning.

I've probably been coming here for over 5 years and it's grown to be better and better. If you want a super chill knowledgeable staff and the plant choices by the thousands and all the cutest pots and rocks and landscape ornaments you need for your life come here! They're local and just the best all around. For $5 you pick your plants and pots and stones and they assemble for you for a gift or whatever! It's the most unique gifting experience ever. Like mine below. I picked everything they assembled for me.

See all

Over priced and over hyped. Staff also follows you around while you shop and reply arrogantly to questions.

Barton Springs Nursery

Westlake Hills

We stumbled onto Barton Springs Nursery almost by accident after seeing their showroom on Lamar and…read morerealizing there was an actual nursery a little farther west. Somehow I had never heard of it, despite it having been around for decades. I was not prepared. This is less a traditional nursery and more a beautifully designed place that happens to sell plants. The property is shaded by huge mature oaks, with gravel paths winding through incredibly healthy plants, weathered wood structures, limestone, pottery, little seating areas, a greenhouse, ponds, and thoughtfully placed pockets where you can just sit. Everything feels considered without feeling precious. I kept trying to describe the aesthetic and eventually realized the most accurate reference point is the Animal Crossing island I always intended to create but absolutely never did. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful retail environments I've experienced in Austin. We were only stopping in between errands with our five-year-old and 11-month-old, so we barely scratched the surface and didn't actually purchase anything. Even so, several staff members took time with us. Everyone we encountered was warm, knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely happy to talk about plants and the property. The Genus Bar is particularly cool. It isn't just clever branding. You can bring actual plant problems to their horticultural experts for help, and they have equipment on hand to dig into what may be happening with a plant. One gentleman walked us through the space, explained some of what they do there, gave us some history of the nursery, and was completely open to whatever plant questions I wanted to throw at him. There are also a surprising number of things for kids to discover. Turtles, enormous tortoises, an axolotl, ponds and other little bits of wildlife are worked into the property. Our five-year-old loved feeding and watching the turtles and tortoises. One of the staff members caring for the tortoises also made sure we knew not to touch them because of the salmonella risk. How did I make it this far into adulthood without knowing that? Another unexpected detail was the nitro yaupon tea. I initially thought I was being offered cold brew coffee, which was challenged the moment I smelled it. Yaupon is a native holly whose leaves have a long history of being brewed as a caffeinated tea, and the person serving it gave us the whole background while preparing it. It was light, fragrant and really pleasant. Just another small thing that made the visit feel less transactional. The major caveat is price. This is NOT where I would necessarily come for a budget-conscious haul of plants I could easily find elsewhere. The nursery is in Westlake, the products are highly curated, and the pricing reflects the environment and clientele. That said, the plants we saw looked exceptionally healthy, the garden and home goods felt carefully selected, and there appeared to be some more unusual plant options mixed into the broader selection. You're paying for a noticeably different experience. And honestly, the experience is the reason give it five stars. We came in intending to look around for a few minutes and left wishing we'd had considerably more time. I tend to linger in nurseries anyway, but Barton Springs Nursery seems almost specifically engineered to encourage that behavior. Next time we'll come when we're not wedging botanical exploration between chores. Even if it isn't where you buy every plant for your yard, it's worth visiting at least once. We'll absolutely be back.

Such a gem for anyone who loves plants -- this place is a joy to walk around! The staff here is so…read morenice and helpful, and there are plenty of wheeled trolleys for use when your plant selections become too much to carry, haha. There's a giant garden gnome out front, plus two resident tortoises, parakeets, a pond with turtles, and even an axolotl inside the gift shop! It's so lovely to walk around here, admire their space, and gather inspiration from the wonderful assortment of plants they have. My cousin buys so many plants here for her home as well as for her business. Happy to support such a wonderful place!

This place deserves the **"I have escaped the concrete hellscape and entered the garden…read moresanctuary"** review. We absolutely LOVED Green Planet Scapes. We had just come from the big-box garden center, so walking into a nursery with **SHADE**, beautiful healthy plants, reasonable prices, and people who actually care about what they're selling felt downright luxurious. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely knowledgeable--and, most importantly to us, they clearly give a darn about native plants and the ecosystem they're going into. They had **actual native milkweeds for our monarchs**, including Asclepias tuberosa, and I was thrilled to see that they **do not sell tropical milkweed**. That alone tells me this is a nursery paying attention rather than just stocking whatever will sell. And the whole place just feels *loved*. There are thoughtful little details everywhere to enhance the experience. At one point, classical music was playing (seriously) while we wandered around freely (and finally not sweating) on a summer Saturday, looking at gorgeously curated plants, and I thought, "Well, I guess this is where we buy things now?" Grateful to Green Planet for saving us the gas money we used to spend driving down to Natural Gardener. Compared to the big boxes: Cooler, cheaper, kinder, more chill, more knowledgeable, more beautiful--and you're supporting a local place that actually seems to care about what grows well here. And they're tucked immediately off of 620 and hard to spot--unless your eyes naturally gravitate to 20 ft tall green inflatables? Turn immediately! You will have found your new go to plant place.

Lots of good plants in for fall. Was happy to see a native Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) for sale!read more

And after I got some prices and had some flaky messages, I got the best communication from this father and pop team and family run business.

I thought that it was odd that his dad came with him since he has supposedly been doing this work for over 9 years, but now I know dad was babysitting him. The quote automatically baked in a tip. I asked for clippings to be bagged, beds weeded, etc each time. If everything had been perfect for the price ok, but not for the nonsense with him. There are so many items, first he put a 30 pound bag of Ironite on the base of a single tree, a 30 pound bag of Ironite is $38 + tax so 41.14 after tax down the tube and a tree that will fry and have to be removed. When his father told him that he should not have done that his solution was to water it in vs raking it out to the drip line where it should have been to begin with. Not only did I tell him very specifically how to do it he said "yes, I understand". 9+ years of experience my foot, I should not have had to tell him how to do it to begin with. His excuse for this stunt was because there was scat there, so the tree is about 15 feet tall and the drip line is at about 15 feet so he tried to claim that there was scat at the drip line in an arc for 15 feet across the yard. He would have had to mow over enough scat that he would have had to pick it up before mowing, this would also mean that the racoons would have had to map out the scat in an arc of 15 feet, no way, period. I also went and smelled the clippings, zero scat smell, I also looked for the scat, I found one small amount near the base of the tree, exactly where he should not have been messing around anyway. He put so much Ironite on flowers that it would have fried every single one of them had it not all been picked out and then he tossed some in pots, who puts a bunch of fertilizer directly in plant pots with supposedly 9 years of experience? So not only am I out a bag of Ironite, I now have to water and water and water to abate the burn so yet more money for no reason, not to mention the amount of walking which is a real issue due to being disabled. The only reason to pull this stunt with 9 years of experience is to kill the tree so he had something else to charge me for He apologized, but laughed as he was apologizing, literally like a grinning i----. I also caught him pushing down backwards on the fence gate, interestingly they do fence work; why would anyone push down on a fence gate period other than to create an issue that needs to be fixed? Next, I told him to mow the grass as high as possible and it is absurdly short and I told him not to burn the edges when he edged, all burned. Next there is horseweed in the back and I told him the day before during the quote, which took over an hour of walking him around and I am disabled so every step is painful, to mow it as if it were grass, he texts me and asks if he should mow it, but did not bother texting or asking about the fertilizer and the tree? He told me during the quote that he would hand weed the area around the air conditioners and then told me that he did not weed anything on that side because I told him to not use the weedwhacker around the air conditioners. Next, a very large bed in front where saplings grow, he did zero, other beds grass was left along with saplings Moved chairs were the grass is not even long enough to mow and left them. I told him exactly where to put the compost bin at the curb before he left, nothing at the curb, his excuse "I thought you meant for next time", so he knows I am disabled and leaves it for me to take out when it was literally the last thing that I reminded him to do. I also had to remind him to lock the gate, seriously a disable single female and I need to remind 2 grown men to lock the gate. He also told me he could do other odd jobs during the estimate, he shows up with a dead drill. The quote was $175 for a quarter acre, but I get bagging, hand weeding, etc takes extra time so I agreed. I waited a day before deciding to do the full feedback and this arrogant little snot told me to get another company, as if I would ever use them again, just how dumb does he need to be to think I would ever consider him for use ever again. He is also out another 5 jobs as 5 different neighbors would have used him had I been happy him, which also basically means he is out of the running for a single job in this neighborhood.
