    Absolutely no customer service from the owner, Jake aka Jak@&& Bolin. The employees at the location…read morewere very nice, but the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional. I called a few weeks after purchasing plants to discuss a return or replacement, and from the moment I mentioned the plants had died (see attached photos), his attitude turned hostile. He actually told me to "be quiet" because he had listened to me and it was now "my turn to listen." He blamed me and made it very clear I was the cause of the plants dying. This is without any pictures or exact facts. He just jumped on the bandwagon of blame. I'll admit I chose a few choice words in response -- but after the way he spoke to me, I felt completely justified in standing up for myself. His tone was disrespectful and aggressive, and no customer should be treated that way. He hung up on me after that. Speaking to a customer like that just cost him one and I am hoping more. I would have gladly gone back many times, but after being insulted and dismissed like that, I'll take my business elsewhere. Lowe's offers better plants, better prices, and stands behind their products without blaming the customer. I actually have a thriving garden of plants that have made it all year with no issues. Next spring, I'll be using Backbone Nursery for my large project instead -- they may charge a little more, but their customer service is worth every penny. Here is your proof Mr. Bolin! You sell crappy products and then will not stand behind them.

    Awesome plants. Little overpriced. Employees were very informative. I was told I could not get a…read morekey lime tree in Texas which was not true.

    I have lived in this area for four years and only just now discovering them! I have been driving…read moredown into Austin and Dripping Springs to find plants and trees when all along this place has been in my backyard. Very easy to find and plenty of parking. Even open on Sunday for those who are inundated during the week and can't get out except for a weekend. When I first stepped out of my car and began to walk around, it was dizzying. I felt like a kid in a candy store. So many tree varieties to choose from and I couldn't even begin to guess how many acres this place is. There are staff all over going about tending to the plants/trees but if you need help, they will go out of their way to help you. I was assisted by Adam who was extremely friendly and helpful. I simply had a question about a tree but Adam took me around in a cart giving me a tour since it was my first time here. In the end, I did end up buying a tree which they were happy to hold onto until I am ready to bring to my house. All of the staff are very friendly and Adam was especially helpful. They had trees I have been searching for online and some I thought I would have to buy from tree farms and have shipped here. And not only trees, but they have so much for bushes and shrubs and regular plants to decorate your landscaping if that is what you are looking for. Something else I really appreciated was there was no pressure. At other places, I have experienced high pressure sales, but here, they are very knowledgeable and just want to help. If you are looking to add something to your backyard or landscaping, you won't find a better nursery.

    Very disappointed in that Wildseed Farms adds a Tip to purchases made at the gift shop there. I…read moremade two separate purchases; one inside the gift shop and one in the outdoor garden center. Both purchases included a tip, without my knowledge or consent. I emailed them, asking why a tip is automatically added onto the gift shop purchases, and never received a reply. At this point in time, they will no longer get any more business from me.

    Finally made the trek over to check out Wildseed Farms. We came across this place accidentally as…read morewe were leaving Enchanted Rock. At that time, there was nothing going on and nothing growing so we decided to come back around when spring was happening. So this time around, definitely more popular, more cars and people wanting to check the place out. Essentially I was expecting this to be more of a field of flowers. But, it's basically that (although there wasn't much of it yet, just some flowers to see) and garden decor, pots, gifts, wine, pickled things, plants and LOTS of wildflower seeds to plant at home. The plants, some were decently priced, most were a little pricier. Just depends on which ones. Majority of the ones we wanted were a little better price wise vs going to home depot, at least we think so! We walked around the adventure trail (since it was free) to get some steps in and have the kids burn some of their energy out while roaming around (minus my toddler, she would want to run away and fast haha so I changed my mind on that idea). The trail itself was open, spacious and a great way to get some fresh air. You can be lucky enough to catch some glimpses of some flowers that could be sprouting out even though there's not much! The shops: they had different types of store fronts, one for food/snack/pickled items alongside a small cafe where you can order beer and wine, another for more accessories, clothing and some planting items too! They had standing wine tasting area near the trail walking area if you want to walk around with some wine. Parking: so much parking, so definitely not to worry although I can image it being more difficult when the flowers really bloom in their field.
