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.

From what I understand this market has been happening for a couple of years. As far as farmers…read moremarkets go, this is a relatively small assembly of vendors, but they do have a really nice variety of items. There are definitely some things you will find here that you will not find at your local supermarket. We purchased some farm fresh eggs that were laid the day before. We also picked up some fresh produce and there were also some interesting plants for sale. One vendor was there to sell their free range organic meats. If you find yourself coming to Elgin for some great barbecue on a Thursday, just come downtown by the tracks after 4 o'clock and you can catch these folks. The photographs below tell a better story.

When we arrived, there were a couple of people there buying plants, so we walked over to the labyrinth - it was overgrown with weeds. I looked for the tearoom and found a patio area with old slightly rusted chairs and a table or two. We gave up on this and walked around to look at some of the plants. We stayed about 10 minutes and left. Not worth the time.

She met me when I arrived, told me the beautiful story of the labyrinth, and then left me in privacy to walk the labyrinth in peace. I felt right at home and felt no need to rush which is essential for such a personal and meditative experience. Just a note: labyrinths are patterns that have been used in different cultural and spiritual settings around the world for thousands of years. You don't have to practice any particular religion to enjoy and benefit from this introspective experience. Dina has created this as a place of peace and healing for the community and has made the experience strictly donation based. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a little respite from life's chaos!

The Market is one of…read moreNorth West Austin's most attractive weekend experiences and a great way to support local businesses in a relaxed, community setting. The days and times of operation include every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Great Hills Trail and Jollyville Road (in front of Juliet's Italian Kitchen). The market brings together 40+ local food vendors and artisans in an outdoor space at The Arboretum. What really stands out is the variety of items available for sale. You'll find everything from fresh baked goods, local produce, and meats to hot foods, plus a wide range of handmade items like jewelry, apparel, art, and home goods. I purchased an alligator pastry from My.Boulangerie....so delicious and decadent. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming...very much like a neighborhood market vibe. It's free to attend, family friendly, and dog friendly, which makes it an easy Saturday outing whether you're browsing solo, meeting friends, or bringing children and fur babies. The market is set up in a parking lot space. Another highlight is the chance to talk directly with vendors. Many are small batch food producers or independent artisans who are happy to share the story behind their products, which adds a personal touch you don't get at larger commercial markets. The food vendors and artisans were happy to show their wares.
