The staff are consistently friendly and always ready to answer my questions, which has been a lifesaver as a newbie plant mom. Their spacious outdoor layout and safety precautions make every visit comfortable, and I love that they support other local businesses--you'll often spot local honey vendors, food trucks, and pop-ups on-site!

Rows upon rows of flowers, vegetable plants, etc. This isn't your Lowe's Garden Center. I'm particularly impressed by their selection of roses to choose from. My mom had a lot of fun today. Since it was quickly getting hot, we didn't do much outdoor shopping, but she did buy a lot of seed packets and some lily bulbs. Things here are a little more expensive than other places but on the other hand, many places won't have the selection Rainbow Gardens has. The folks running it are also very nice and helpful.

Simply put the owner is very full of himself, and takes business questions personally. Rather than accept his own coupon, he would rather not do business with you at all and tell you to your face to never come back. i guess he must be busy to turn away customers like that. It was not a small order, being well over $1000 in flowers and trees. The hired help is variable in knowledge and ability. They list their hours as being open until 6:00, but they shut down the cash register at 5:30 and basically chase you out after that. Not welcoming or friendly at all. If you have to have plants, and are willing to put up with people who basically don't care about you as a customer and are more interested in doing things their way, with their pride, and with their (self) hurt feelings than they are with providing you with good customer service, then I guess you could go there. I won't. Not after the way I was treated. I wouldn't want anyone I know or like to go there either. Sometimes it is not about the price, it is the principle. They seem to want to stand on their principle that it is OK to treat their customer with less respect than the dirt they sell, then chase you and your money away when you challenge them on their actions. So I will stand on my principle: I deserve respect as a customer just as they do as a vendor. If they do not want to be honest and respectful, they do not deserve my business, and I would suggest they do not deserve yours.

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!

The young men that we met on the day of our visit were very helpful, kind and they had a lot of helpful information regarding the various trees. We were in the market to purchase some new trees and they did well with helping us make a final decision. This business focuses on selling more mature trees. They have a very large selection, various sizes and colors. Seems like they had trees from $100 to tens of $1,000's. Delivery & Installation charges were very reasonable. Delivery was 36 hours after we visited them and the install went smooth and flawless. I really like how the install team was punctual, they prepared the areas, planted the trees and cleaned up everything afterwards. Trees have a 1 year warranty. Absolutely wonderful job guys and completely enhanced our homes curb appeal!
