So Folks, after reading through these posts, I finally developed the courage to make a short post -…read moreregarding Houston Garden Centers. Yes. they've been around for years and have been very successful acquiring solid locations around Houston. They also have achieved significantly strong leverage with Wholesalers / Growers around the USA. Having spent many years purchasing from them, I'd like to help anyone who enjoys gardening as much as I do. Considerations: 1. Can they help you troubleshoot and resolve a broad spectrum of plant/lawn disease, pesticide, or fungal problem(s). Moreover, are they competent enough to prescribe a solution? 2. Plant ID / Genus / Subgenus - a Texas "Common Name" and planting tips; just be careful that you are confident with the advice. 3. Do your research. Identify your planting locations; for example, Full Sun vs. Full Shade - moist soil, types of soil, etc. 4. Lastly, learn plant maturity, age, and grade. Avoid a price per gallon, or pack. Example - a 5 gal. plant may not be as mature as a similar plant (by age and show) as a 1-3 gallon. Importantly - Plants, Turf, and Bedding Plants are grown / prorogated differently; think of plants like eggs; Grade A....Grade AAAA, etc. Local nurseries that offer warranty on plants are at the very least confident they are providing you the best purchase. Low grade, high volume, leveraged surplus plants that are discounted, etc. by inventory are often offered at a discount, but marketed at or below competitors. Consider your options and look at plant health, size and age/maturity; don't get distracted by blooms / growth / color, until you can understand age and survivability. If you know what you need and are willing to work hard to establish their products, then they are a good fit. If you are someone that want's to learn to become a "green thumb" then I'd recommend the local nursery's first. One last comment, essentially its all chemistry, but you can learn quite a bit more from a local nursery expert that employs an expert, such as a Texas Certified Nursery Professional, or TNLA, etc. Hope this helps you guys!

If you're so excited to landscape your yard that you wet your plants, then you may want to visit…read moreHouston Garden Center. It may be the most visible nursery in Houston: easily spotted from I-10 east of downtown. Take the first exit on the east side of Beltway 8 to get there the easiest. I saw it many times on visits to H-town, planning some additions to my yard, so I made it a point to stop in. Here's the note, though: It's a garden center, not a landscape center, not an outdoor living center. They sell plants, soil, and accessories, and that's all. No fountains, no sculptures, no furniture, no bricks, no watering equipment. Well, if they focus on plants, what plants do they have? Lots of azaleas. Shrubberies. Grass. Trees, including several different palms. Fruits, veggies, & herbs. A pleasant surprise was a section of loblolly pine, a native to TX's Piney Woods. Prices are in line with similar places. But some Yelpers have reported that Houston Garden Center has many sales, but sometimes doesn't honor the lower prices. Houston Garden Center has a reasonable selection, but it pays to shop around.

I had a review up on Yelp with Natures way Resources & it wasn't a good review. I was upset that I…read morehad received 4 cubic yards of triple ground mulch & it had garbage all throughout it. It wasn't a little garbage, it was kitchen garbage bags full of plastics of all kinds. It was a mess. I tried reaching out to the company(by email to the person I was talking to about prices and how much I was ordering) but never heard back unfortunately. The reason that prompted me to write the review in the first place was months later,after receiving the mulch, I was pulling weeds & I was still picking garbage out of the mulch that the rain had washed up to the surface. It looked so incredibly trashy. After writing the review the company called & emailed me to reach out to apologize for the contamination of the mulch, explain that it wasn't their normal business practice & they pride themselves on great customer service & great products (which I've heard about from others in the past which made me choose this company since I was new to the area.) He explained that with Covid, things had gotten a little abnormal & the emails must've gotten lost in the shuffle for the response back about the situation. I greatly appreciated the company reaching back out to me (even after months later) to correct this. They offered to replace or refund my money. I took them up on the offer to replace half the mulch to cover the garbage/plastics on top of my front beds. I've given this company 5 stars because after all that was said & done.... they came through & corrected their mistake. I can understand accidents happening... we all make them. But for a company to right their wrongs, that's a good company to me. The Covid had messed everyone up & turned things upside down so that is totally understandable! I want to add that the delivery driver was friendly & she called both times to ask where I wanted it dumped(the driveway) when she got to my house. Thank you, David, for reaching back out to me to fix the accident. I appreciate the great customer service! I will be using this company again:)

What's the problem with shopping at discount stores you say? Well, you MIGHT find what you're…read morelooking for...and you might NOT! For example, I stopped to find an item one day only to FIND the last in stock (Yay)! However, there was a hole in the bag and a piece I needed for the item to function was missing (fiddlesticks)! Soooo I lost out on saving a few bucks in this particular instance, but there have been plenty of times that Ive found items I wasnt looking for and turned out to be a great profit to me. Nonetheless the discount environment also may lend to disorganized anf disarray. Not so much in this location, which I appreciate. If youre a bargain shopper, I do highly suggest you do your research beforr you buy because some items maybe slightyly inflated (typical shopping 101). Can be a hit or miss. If youre looking for something in particular its definetly a profitable stop to make for home furnishings, food items, and decor on the cheap.
