The best part of shopping here is the staff--they're knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer every question I have about plant care. I've spent a small fortune on plants, soils, succulents, and pots, but it's absolutely worth it. The Natural Gardener has become one of my true happy places, and I especially appreciate the free monthly classes they offer. It's a wonderful spot for both new and experienced plant lovers. Highly recommend!

This fancy-pants "nursery" in North Austin offers financing for your project (or partners with…read moresomeone who does). That should tell you: it's looking for customers with fat wallets. I asked if they were a native plant nursery on the phone and the salesman responded "we guarantee all our plants, so we wouldn't be doing that for plants that won't grow well here." NOTE: That is not an affirmative answer--it's an evasion. Selection is limited to medium to large containers, and well-established trees in MASSIVE containers (those certainly require delivery, I'm thinking). No seedlings or small containers, that I could see. This was a huge disappointment, since I was led to believe I was going to a native plant nursery, and that I would be offered assistance and advice. Neither turned out to be true. This nursery really wants you to buy into letting THEM do the work for your "project," from design to installation to maintenance. If you've got unlimited cash to burn and you want to pay them to maintain their work, go for it! This doesn't feel like a place where you can come as a gardening novice and get advice and ideas--what you're going to get (assuming that someone decides to speak to you while you're there--someone did speak to me in fact, to tell me nicely to move out of the way) is an upsell--or a brush-off, if you're deemed too small-fry to waste their time with you. Of course this impression is formed by a few minutes on the phone where the SALESMAN (not gardener, not plant expert) encouraged me to bring in photos of my yard so they could help with the design, followed by an excited trip to the nursery, and discovering that what's here is mostly large containers, lots of very large trees (get three large trees for only $10,000!), and lots of (I think) non-natives. Don't come here if you want to learn how to do things yourself. If you want full sized trees to plop into the ground and someone to do the work of maintaining them, or you really like the idea of financing an instantly landscaped yard without having to do anything but open your wallet or going into substantial debt--then Moon Valley may be just the place for you.

10 OUT OF 10!!!...will wander again. :-D…read more Absolutely blown away. Hill Country Water Gardens isn't just a nursery...it's a full-blown botanical mini-adventure. It's the kind of place where you come for a plant and end up staying for the vibes. Think of it as a garden center meets a peaceful mini outdoor museum. Everything is beautifully organized by plant type, making it easy to find what you're looking for...or, more likely, making it easy to get joyfully distracted while you wander. There are cozy benches for daydreaming, koi ponds full of personality, colorful lily pads that pop out and wave at you, and the kind of friendly staff that actually makes you want to ask questions. Inspiration? It's everywhere. From the water features, to the whimsical sculptures, to lush displays that make you rethink your whole gardening vision. There are restrooms if nature calls, and there are plenty of delightful garden goodies to buy/take home. It's rare to find a place that feeds your inner gardener, your creative soul, and your serotonin all at once...but somehow, this place pulls it off. I'm so glad it exists.

After nomming down some Baldinucci, we sought to admire the plants of the nursery. From the…read moreexterior, I underestimated the scope of the establishment, but soon the realization of just how massive and nicely decorated the place was. Most likely you'll first park your vehicle, then walk in the main entrance with its grand rustic signage. Perhaps you might miss the rope swing to your left, and instead you might be drawn to the rows of plants on your right. You might snake in further to under the tarp covered area. Or perhaps you'll venture inside the building at the front. You might check out their aviary, try to find their two tortoises, turtles, or admire their pottery selection. If you go in far enough, lights string themselves between trees towering above you. If you go all the way back, you'll find a sheltered greenhouse area with some neat displays. In the fountain area, water will be aerated, and alligator heads will float around. You might go around reading signage describing various plants, how they can be used, conditions in which they thrive, or how they drip irrigate their nursery plants. Some signs suggest they can source plants for you if needed. You might encounter the friendly people running the place who'll explain to you how everything works. But other, it's a nice e area to walk around. Across the other side of the parking lot, they have a museum set up inside a large garage. Entry to this nursery is free, but if you're looking to buy a plant, you can grab a cart, find your selection, and then bring it over to one of the checkout stations that they have setup. Otherwise, there is plenty of space to walk around and explore.

They loaded it up for me and even held the rest for me for a few hours when it wouldn't all fit. It's been over a month since we installed the grass and it's doing really great. While there, I couldn't help noticing all the great plants in their nursery. They had everything I usually see in all the beautiful landscaping around town, but can never seem to find. Bonus, they were also at a great price, so I picked up three that the owner suggested for shady gardens. They too are in great shape a month later and really thriving. I highly recommend Jasso's as an awesome local nursery with great customer service.

Shoal Creek Nursery used to be a great place to find plants but what made it special WAS great…read moreservice. The SERVICE NOW IS VERY POOR. On busy times no one answers the phone no matter which selection you make. On at Tues morning finally I did get someone to answer the phone. They were not able to answer a simple question so they put me on hold to go ask someone else. They got back on the line , gave me an incomplete quick response and never ended the call. Then began talking to another customer about an order while I was still holding on. Rude and disrespectful. The poor service does not warrant their higher prices compared to Home Depot or Lowe's. I think that perhaps Shoal Creek seems more interested in landscape companies with big orders, not your regular homeowner. My experience at the Arbor walk Home Depot was so pleasant. Better value and friendly service.
