They have pretty much everything else though. I find the pricing can be slightly higher than average, but you can find really great deals if you look. This place gets incredibly busy and you can wait on line for a really, really long time. Sometimes, I wonder if it's worth it. My recommendation is to go during the weekend otherwise you'll be fighting your way in and out.

Shades of Green is a little oasis in the middle of San Antonio!…read more This nursery is one of my favorite in the city because of how peaceful and calm it is. They have a huge selection of both indoor and outdoor plants, and they just keep adding more and more selection of plants to their repertoire. If you love indoor plants, you have to check out their greenhouse. It always has a huge selection of plants from all sizes. They also recently opened a section of cacti and succulents which is super cool. I am not really into those plants, but just walking inside that section makes me feel like I am in Arizona or somewhere else. Frankly it is just magical how much one section can change to the next. Also, the service here is always excellent. I've got some amazing recommendations and tips to take care of my plants from the people that work here. In regards to the value, I think their prices are great for a small business. Anyhow, y'all can see I really love this plant nursery and I think it is a must if you are looking for a new plant baby or just want to take in nature.

I love David's Plantas!…read more Since COVID-19 started, I knew I had to find a new hobby; something that would give me peace and would teach me something new...that's when I found my new love for plants. For the last few months I have acquired a few new plants babies from different local greenhouses. After some research, I learned that San Antonio has an amazing group of small businesses that supports our local nonprofits through the sell of plants; David's Plantas is one of them! Last month they raised over $5,500 for the Thrive Youth Center, and they are always supporting a different nonprofit each month. David's Plantas doesn't have a brick and mortar, so I highly recommend you to follow his Instagram page for plant updates. He also sells a few of his plants at Cafe Azteca and The Friendly Spot (probably more locations to come soon). I have a little succulent from him, and is doing great! I like that I can always message David and ask him question about plants and how to take care of them. Looking for a new plant baby + want to help our community = Support David's Plantas!

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!

It's like JoAnne Gaines and Indiana Jones curated a smaller version of Versailles Palace for Texas. Though on the pricey side, the items here are of high quality and so beautiful to look at. I am redesigning my house in my head as I walk through the store. Keep walking past the coffee bar to the back; there are a couple more rooms to look at. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner. One of the employees said that they decorate the store and "rooms" for the holidays, and I can only imagine how amazing it must look. It was happenstance that we stumbled across this store. If you're in the area or looking for items for the house, stop here! You will not be disappointed.
