If you know me, you know I'm a serious plant collector with a collection full of rare tropicals, so…read morewhenever I check out a plant shop, I'm looking for two things: knowledge and selection. Bloomers in Elgin delivered on both. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and actually knowledgeable about their plants (which makes a huge difference when you're hunting for anything uncommon). They were willing to answer questions and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Their rare plant selection is dope. There were so many unique plants to choose from, and even what they consider their "regular houseplant section" had plants you honestly won't find at most other shops in Central Texas. I found myself doing multiple laps because I kept spotting things I missed the first time. The greenhouse setup was beautiful and well organized, and you can tell they take pride in the health of their inventory. If you're new to plants, a seasoned collector, or somewhere in between, this place is absolutely worth the trip. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be back.

This spot is located right in our neighborhood and is such a delight to come in (be sure to make an appointment online for your private shopping) and browse. I end up getting many friends gifts here as I know they will be truly valued and gift wrapped with care. Also I highly recommend joining their rewards program as each time you buy something here you gain $1 for every $10 that you spend here. During COVID there has never been a better time to come shop here. Book a private 1-hour shopping appointment either via phone or by email. Be sure to bring your mask and use the hand sanitizer when you walk in as YOU WILL want to touch and pick up everything they have here! No worries if you would rather shop online - they have everything listed on their website that they have in-store. Definitely worth doing a curbside pickup as I had a super easy and fast curbside pickup when I picked up a few gifts for a friend and for myself. Be sure to check out their calendar of events. They have a bunch of cool and fun DIY classes you can take and even offer virtual classes like Plant Care 101! All events are monthly and they can even host a birthday party or other parties if you inquire which is an excellent idea to have the whole backyard space they got for yourself, friends, and some friendly plants.

It does…read moreinclude the hay rides (both adult and kids), some carnival games like basketball, and corn maze. Parking is free and plenty of room. Food - eh; they pretty much only have pizza or chicken nuggets at different stations. Pretty basic, not much to speak to on that. Both are about $10. I was a bit disappointed on the choices. Esp for fall it would have been great to have pumpkin pie, apple cider, sweet potato, etc like fall items. That would have been cool. Drinks - generous pour for iced tea. I had the frozen sangria snd it was really good snd not too sweet! I did get some brain freezes (yup more than once). My faves- the farm animals, apple cannon ($) but worth it, hayride, corn maze was fun! When you think about everything that is included it seems worth the price. The white pumpkins were kinda pricey since they are special at $12. They have a gorgeous field of flowers that you can pick and cut your own flowers. Lots of photo op moments. Really really great for kids. So many slides, a treehouse playground, a bouncy ground, etc. I'd recommend going. Esp if you have kids.

POT DADDY!!! Yes!!! Amazing pottery experience. I will be back! I took myself on a solo date here…read moreand it was better than I expected! It's tucked away in a neighborhood in the owners home. There's limited parking, about 8 spots on the property. It's beautifully situated and the set up is so nice. They provide aprons, overalls and slide shoes if you don't want to get your clothes dirty. Today's group was super small just me and 3 others! We learned to use the wheel, the process that happens afterwards and then you practice detachment by leaving your piece and choosing 1-2 others to take home! It honestly takes time to glaze and finalize the pieces which is why you do not take yours home. I found the cutest pieces!! Katie was a lovely and patient instructor! I'll definitely be back!

It's a bit outside of Austin. But it had an eclectic feel in the woods, which definitely aligns with what we expect in Austin.

Lastly, there are great pieces that you can purchase and walk away with. Overall, an amazing experience!

We had a beautiful wedding here! Our inspiration was backyard wedding if we had a big, beautiful,…read morecozy back yard, and that's exactly what it felt like. The oak trees were stunning and there were so many cute little spots to take photos, and in such a great location. They were very easy to work with and flexible, and we were able to come visit and walk through any time we wanted before the wedding. 2 things to keep in mind: 1. There is no indoor space that is big enough for chairs and tables (unless you have a very small wedding - I think maybe it was under 50?) so you do have to have a rain plan. They only work with 1 tent vendor, Monarch Event Rentals, so you can't shop around on prices. We actually had rain and had a pretty good experience with Monarch, but it was an extra $3k - consider that possibility in your budgeting. 2. Our wedding was about 100 people, and that felt really like the most tables you could possibly cram in that space. They say they can hold up to 150, but to achieve that you'd probably have to put people uncomfortably close together or put tables in weird places. I know they say something like it's best suited for under 100 but can go up to 150, but I would consider your absolute max like 110 at this venue.
