Fortunately today there was a community yoga class (Swift Fit Events), plus a succulent class (East side succulents). This allowed us the opportunity to explore and enjoy the property. We brought our mother along to enjoy, and she quickly made friends. There is a lovely market filled with fresh produce, plus other local goods. Everyone was friendly, and helpful. The restrooms are very accessible, and clean! So happy to have this precious gem in Austin! Thank You

Mueller is further away, but I have all day to shop, and plan, and get my groceries for the week. Something about this location that just has an energy about it. I feel so much better walking around. The people, the venders, and the dogs. My gosh there are so many dogs. I'm a dog person, and they know it. I have dogs walking up to me. And of course I have to talk to them. Venders are great, you have such a variety of prepared food. Love the dumplings. But there is so much more. Veggies. Fruits, canned goods, baked goods, meats, cheese, eggs, pasta, raw milk. I mean it's just a lot of greatness. Love supporting famers and small businesses. Coming out in the community, and just feeling a connection. Literally recharges me. It's been a draining week, and the market was my therapy today.

You can use your SNAP/WIC benefit here and they give you "double bucks" as well, so you double your benefit to spend on fresh fruit, vegetable, or mushroom.

The twist: Maytag bleu cheese, bacon and white truffle are all in the potato salad. Truffles and Potato Salad... WOW - what a combination. My taste buds will never be the same. They cater to vegans, vegetarians and carnivores alike. If you are Vegan, you will love their Roasted Carrot and Fennel Soup and their Pumpkin Ginger soup. Hot or cold, as vegan fare, it is the creamiest soup I have experienced, sans the cream. Their Smoky Tomato soup is out of this world, and dare I say, much healthier than the local chain restaurant alternatives. Cheese lovers, get ready with the bread and your spreader, they make a cows milk lemon infused fresh cheese, soft, spreadable and melts in your mouth. I have never had anything like it. I walked away with 2 soups, the cheese and the potato salad. I almost forgot about the potato salad because it was in my fridge less than 24 hours before gobbled up. For local, artisan foods, they were priced very reasonably. One pint containers of soup were $5 each. Potato Salad in same sized container (not filled to top) was $6 and 6 oz of cheese was also $6. Chef Blake Moffitt is truly an artist and the name of his business: Elevated Artisanal Goods, Inc. clearly fits the caliber of food he is creating. A must add to your Saturday morning stops. I am hooked! They do not have a website - but do have e-mail: elevatedartisan@gmail.com

After several samples of cheese, sauces and soups I attempted to walk away; but, quickly returned for a pint of the Potato Leek Soup.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rain Lily to anyone looking for a landscaping change, be it massive…read more(like our project), or small. We asked our trusted irrigation gal who she would recommend for the big job of removing our huge, ugly retaining wall and replacing it with something - anything - better, and Rain Lily was at the top of her list. From day one, it was a pleasure working with Kim (the owner), and Michelle (on-site Jill of all trades/crew leader). We had landscapers just shake their heads at our wonky retaining wall and steep slope, but Kim dove right in and pretty soon we had some amazing plans drawn up. Seeing the plans was exciting enough, but months later, after much hard work, heavy equipment, and behind-the-scenes contractor wrangling, the final result was almost unbelievable. It was a big job, and there were many points at which things could have gone wrong, but didn't. Kim and Michelle really knocked it out of the park. Also worthy of mention is the crew - they worked tirelessly, carefully, and professionally. Nothing sloppy or second-rate about the work they do. The job site was always pristine at the end of the day. We now use Rain Lily for maintenance, and they do a bang-up job keeping everything ship-shape. Every day I look out onto our front yard and do a little dance of happiness inside. The plants they selected are thriving and filling in beautifully, and it really looks like a different property. Best call I ever made!

My plan was to use RainLily to design and implement their plan for my yard. I was very pleased and…read moreexcited about the design and plant/tree selection. Their plan met all of my goals and objectives and, so I was let to believe, within my budget. I was very clear what my budget was. So, I was very disappointed when I found out that executing the design I was excited about was going to cost WAY more than what I was willing to spend. I ended up purchasing most of the plants, grass, and trees from Natural Gardener myself--which saved me a bunch b/c RainLily marks everything that they buy up. Then I hired some friends help me put every thing in over a weekend. So, I would highly recommend RainLily for their design/plant selection. Based on my one experience, I wouldn't recommend them for anything else. I don't see any value in having them procuring plants, soil, gravel, grass, or trees. Go to NG with a list and have them deliver it for $50. As far as the implementation, that's a judgement call, but there's no sense in paying $30 or $40/hour for one of their staff to dig a hole and move some dirt. If your project requires a higher level of skill, then you may want to consider it.

They set the wares out on racks so you can check them out from traffic or afar. They offer a bunch of denim and some boots, and some western accessories. The spot is rented from the local church, and they've turned a previously brown patch of grass into a fun and inviting place. There's no restroom. When I went, the clerk was pretty aloof, which was alright with me, since I was just browsing. Didn't get anything. This is all kinda impulse buy stuff. I don't think anyone wakes up and says that they're gonna come here for some bedazzled purse or something. Parking here is a serious challenge. There's only back-in parking along this section of South Congress.
