Neat place, friendly folks. This place features quite a lot of unique artistic outdoor work that you definitely won't find anywhere else! Because of this, the sculptures are on the pricey side. In terms of offerings Sol'tice has more decor than plants however. They do have a decent spread and selection- from annuals/perrenials to vegetables/spices to bushes to succulents to trees- but not in large volumes, so if you're looking for bulk, this isn't the right place to go. The owners both greeted us and invited us to "explore and enjoy" the grounds and to let them know if we had any questions or needed any help. There are a couple four-wheeled carts around to help you shop. The indoor section features wall art and other unique finds/gifts. Currently you don't need a mask to enjoy the outdoor areas, but you are asked to mask up for inside. =) read more

Nice selection of native plants but even nicer selection of art by local artists. It's one of my go tos for unique gifts!

Wow. So cool. Lots of indoor art from local folks. All kinda of mediums. Outside is the real whimsey. Walking paths of sculpture and other art forms. It really feels like you stepped through the wardrobe here. Besides the art, there are plenty of plants to see and buy. Some that I usually don't see at the local hardware or garden store plus they have organic gardening supplies. You should come to shop or to get lost in the garden. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will for sure be back! read more

Solstice - Muses - Landscape Architects or Designers Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

We had Chris and his team plan and implement a landscape project that included a flagstone patio, mulch beds, raised patio and planting of trees and shrubs. We are very pleased of the project outcome; the quality of work exceeded our expectations. The design, created by Jordan, and the execution by Daryl and his crew looks phenomenal. The team was easy to work with, very responsive and professional. read more

A true destination for plants, art and unique gifts. I was able to find a Red Bud tree. I had been to every big box store and local Austin nursery and no one had any. It's just past Dreamland on the right. It kind of sneaks up on you so be on the look out. read more

Yard. Art. Mecca. Seriously insane assortment of yard art and garden goodies, as well as a decent selection of plants. Eclectic, artistic and very Austin-y. If you're driving out towards Drip, and need to supplement your pink flamingos and gnomes, stop in. read more

My favorite stop on our recent day trip from Austin to Johnson City. Coolest indoor and outdoor art I've seen in one place. We walked through the wonderful paths under all the trees and everywhere we looked was something different and exciting. Beautifully and creatively designed metal gates, wonderful wind moving whirligigs, and lots of unique items. There was this awesome giant concrete eye hanging from a tree outside. It had red glass for the iris and wire eyelashes. The coolest thing there. And lots of art made from repurposed items. Inside there are several small rooms with different kinds of art: paintings, sculptures, jewelry etc. And much of what they sell, both indoors and out, is made by local artists. Check it out. You'll love it. And if you're headed towards Johnson City check out the Sculpture Ranch. You'll like it too. read more

If you live in Austin or are headed to the area, you must make a trip out to Dripping Springs to Solstice Garden Expressions. There is an incredible assortment of original art, most of which is made by the super cool owner, Chris. He'll walk you around, teach you about plants ( which they also sell), and tell you everything about any piece of art in the place. And the store itself is so cool! Part indoor gallery, part outdoor gallery with walking trails filled with art. The indoor gallery has paintings, jewelry, sculpture, gazing globes, handmade soap....a ton of original stuff. Seriously, this place is Austin cool without the Austin prices. Chris's signature pieces are his handmade solstice suns and fire pits. Oh, and he can custom make anything you want. Check it out. I promise it won't disappoint. read more

Solstice - One of the owner's very cool creations. One of a kind! - Landscape Architects or Designers Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

See all

Just got back from Solstice and it was good enough for me to join Yelp to post this! A must see in Dripping Springs. My wife made me go and I am glad she did. If you have a wall, yard, pot, or patch of dirt you will find something you cannot live without. Some of the best yard art I have ever seen. They have an indoor art section with AC that had some really great stuff. A great selection of native plants and the people were really nice. Close enough to ask questions but not overbearing. Loved it and will be back. read more

Definitely an amazing find! A unique assortment of organic and inorganic art collections, all naturally set in little grottos of creative expression. We were also very impressed by Chris, the owner of the shop. To better illustrate the point, our dog passed away and we were desperately seeking a unique stepping stone for his burial site. After calling at least a dozen garden shops with no success, we stumbled upon Sol'stice. We lost our phone connection during the call. Chris called us back immediately to complete a conversation abruptly interrupted by cell connectivity failures. We then visited his magical grounds and he walked with us to help us in our quest. We then found the perfect piece - a stained concrete "mushroom cap" with a multi-colored inlaid glass floral design- that could be easily adapted to fit our needs. Chris was incredibly kind and understanding, going above and to listen and support us on this very painful day. We will definitely be back to visit when we are better able to enjoy his unique assortment of wonderful art celebrating color, texture, movement, and sound. Check out their Facebook page to see some of their wonderful work. https://www.facebook.com/1sol1sol1?ref_type=bookmark read more

Solstice - A very special "memory stone" for our beloved friend Prana, a Hurricane Katrina survivor dog. - Landscape Architects or Designers Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

Loved every moment of our visit to Sol'stice. Irene was friendly, helpful, and so welcoming. We strolled through the creative outdoor art in the gardens, admired the majestic live oaks, and browsed through the whimsical designs in each of the showrooms. Irene was attentive, checking in with us from time to time and helping us choose just the right potted plant for my elderly mom's window ledge garden. Thank you, Irene and Sol'stice. read more

A second Heaven! Not only is the art a site to see but the plants, the people and the experience. This is a place that needs to be experienced by many more! I am certain you will not just visit Sol'stice once but over and over! Great for all ages a Disneyland for those who enjoy Our Mother Earth; Sol'stice also offers opportunities to take a piece of their goodness to our home - its hard not to walk away with just one thing. What's also cool is that its a new experience every time. My wife, son and I visit the Sol'stice at least once a month just to take a step back and be around good things! This beautiful Mother's Day Weekend my son and I took my mom from out of state here and she loved it! Thank you for being in Dripping Springs Sol'stice! read more

This space is incredible! Everywhere I looked there was something spectacular - artwork and plants.

This place is pure magic. Eclectic art from local artists inside the converted house and fascinating outdoor sculptures and fixtures on the trails behinds the house. The owner/artist/artist rep Chris is a lovely, generous soul. Happened upon them on a day when several of the artists were hanging out and got to sit and have a drink and laugh with them and talk about their work. I didn't buy anything - hope someday I can! - but clearly this is an effort of love of art and they treated us like special guests just because we appreciated what they were doing out here. Cannot wait to go back and take more friends. Just beautiful. You should go!!! read more

Cool, cool and more cool whimsical gardening stuff, a very unique assortment of fountains and garden statues. Chris, the owner is very knowledgeable about local plants, a big plus when you strive to use natives and organics! He and his crew installed very large yuccas and gave us a fantastic deal! If you need a treat or just a short get a way, stop off at this beautiful and natural garden fest right before Bell Springs Road on 290. read more

Chris redid the edging in 2 beds, added gravel and mulch and planted some heat tolerate rosemary in a sunny, hot bed between the sidewalk and street in the south side of the house. The price was good and they cleaned up after. We liked him so much we are going to have more done later and I would recommend to anyone. read more

Highest quality landscaping. Design advice was creative and far exceeded our original ideas. Work was completed ahead of schedule. These guys are the best. read more

Solstice is one of the places I take out of town guests to show them our town. This place has beautiful, imaginative objects for yards and outdoor spaces. It is such a pleasure to walk through their garden and see all the unique creations from local artists. They also have native plants. read more

Solstice Garden Expressions is the most fabulous place to view and purchase outdoor sculptures, quality yard art, garden gates, fountains and fire pits in Central Texas and I'm pretty sure I've shopped them all! Each piece is a unique creation made by Chris, the owner, or another individual artist and custom orders are welcome. I have purchased many pieces of outdoor art from Chris since discovering Solstice 3 years ago and my yard is now a beautiful, interesting and fun place to spend time with all the treasures from Solstice. I've also used Solstice to design a landscape plan and implement it with plants, rocks, and trees and couldn't be happier with the results. Chris has an eye for design that is superior to any other landscape designer. I recently mentioned to Chris that I wanted to hang an outdoor ceiling fan over a deck in the middle of my backyard, but didn't want to build a gazebo/structure to hang it from. He came up with a plan to build and install a unique, artsy arm that holds a ceiling fan yet is barely noticeable and blends in with the landscape. I now have moving air in the middle of the yard and can enjoy it, even in August. Check out Solstice, it's the best!!! read more
