Rainbow Gardens is amazing and overwhelming. They have everything you can imagine, usually. We went…read morelooking for night blooming jasmine, but they didn't have it. They have pretty much everything else though. I find the pricing can be slightly higher than average, but you can find really great deals if you look. This place gets incredibly busy and you can wait on line for a really, really long time. Sometimes, I wonder if it's worth it. My recommendation is to go during the weekend otherwise you'll be fighting your way in and out.

I've discovered some truly unique, well-established hybrid begonias, a great range of succulents, and ready-to-go bonsais. They also boast one of the largest selections of Texas native plants, from Turk's Cap to Rock Roses, which can be hard to find at the busier nurseries where plants get scooped up quickly. In addition to plants, they offer a nice selection of glazed pots in various sizes, as well as wind chimes and bird feeders. The only downside is the parking situation--it's a bit tight, and getting out can be tricky. To avoid the hassle, I usually use the car wash entrance/exit when leaving.

We would inquire about certain plants and trees and they would inquire on what we were wanting and where we would be planting them at. Wayne and Faith helped us and helped us make some great choices of both plants and trees. We have bought approximately 10 trees ranging from Loquat, blood orange, 2 avocado trees, red grapefruit and an apple tree also got us a pomegranate tree. Picked up some shade trees like a pistache, maple and a sycamore. We also had them delivered and planted for us by The Garden Center. They take time to explain how to care for the plants and trees, providing you with a care sheet on how to keep them alive and healthy (which is important as I can have a rock die on me, don't have a green thumb). Great value and a great selection. I wholeheartedly recommend The Garden Center. I've been to other places to buy plants and trees but I think I've found my preferred place now. The others will sell you some plants and send you in your way, but here at The Garden Center they invest back into you to insure that you get the best service possible.

Known as 'Flowers on wheels", and lately, as "Maria Rocha Plants", this lady and her crew offer remarkable value and variety of plants every Saturday morning in a parking lot at the corner of Vance Jackson and Wurzbach Road. She loads her trucks with plants from local growers, and at 7:00 until 1:00, the selling frenzy is joined. BUT, don't tarry, for nearing the 1:00 hour, the best of the best are sold out!. What is offered? Ferns, flowering plants for indoor and outdoor, herbs, succulents, annuals, perennials, even orchids...the selection may vary from Saturday to Saturday, but the health and quality of the plants are second to none. The prices? Easily beating those at local nurseries and big box stores. (Actually, we did find Boston Fern at a local grocer for one dollar less, but of lesser quality, in our honest opinions). And if the plants offered are not enough of an inducement, just ask Maria's advice for growing and maintenance of plants. Don't be misled by her down home, and sometimes brassy personality. Her knowledge of plants is almost encyclopedic! We have become regulars, as Marjan is addicted to the practice of gardening. Make a trip to the corner of Vance Jackson and Wurzbach. Visit Maria Rocha. See what she has to offer to gardeners. We think you will be pleased with the experience!! Marjan rates Maria Rocha Plants...5 origami boots!!! (Oh, one more thing: Maria's is a "cash only" business, no checks or credit cards!)

She is only at this location on Saturday mornings, and all her plants fly by in just HOURS. I believe she sets up at 7am, and I've seen people waiting for her at that time. Usually by noon, most of her plants have already sold and you only get the not-so-pretty plants. All the plants I've purchased from her have been doing amazing and are pest free. Last time I visited she was only accepting cash, so I would recommend taking some bills in case she is still doing that. Highly recommending visiting her if you are looking for a new plant baby!
