    I was looking for a specific tree and the staff was so helpful! They only had a few options for what i was looking for, but they went over the alternative with me. Parking: They have a large lot which is great. Part of it has construction because they're expanding but it doesn't cause any issues Selections They have a wide selection of plants and a lot of native options which is awesome! The staff is really knowledge about everything They also have a selection for Christmas trees still and wreaths Shop They do have a shop with a cute pots and gardening supplies, but also everything from Christmas decor to jewelry Cost: Some things are a bit on the pricier side but the quality is great

    One of my favorite nurseries in the Heights. Flowers, trees, pots, herbs, gifts, etc - they have plenty of everything you may need for your nursery both indoor and outdoor varieties. They have a lot of staff there that can help you or answer any questions you may have. They do have seasonal items as well. They're also pet friendly and they do hold different events/classes through the year. If you need anything for the garden, I'd recommend to check them out!

    OMG the plants and trees oh my! I stopped here to pick up a few plants for my daughters yard and when I got here I was trying to figure out how to bring some of these beautiful specimens back to Florida. It was super busy on the day I visited and quite frankly I was overwhelmed with the amount of interesting plants and the size of the store. Lucky for me I happened upon a very knowledgeable employee who gave me the total scoop on Jasmine. Who knew they came in so many varieties, blooming times and fragrance variables. Holy moley you can have beautiful Jasmine flowering all the time when you mix up your plants. I was told which ones are preferred by the hummingbird and butterflies and in which spots to plant them. Thank you to the tall person with the mask on with lovely hair as you were a wealth of knowledge and patience. This is a must visit if your looking for plants.

    So many beautiful things! April 2025!

    Beautiful place with so beautiful and amazing architecture items! Plants that you don't find anywhere else! Great selection! First time here!

    I've never seen this before!

    I'm new to gardening and joined a gardening group to get ideas/tips. I kept on hearing about Buchanan's so I proposed the idea to my sister, who also mentioned this place to me (from her neighbor)... and we made it a sister outing up to the Heights. We decided to hit two nurseries: Buchanan's and Nathan's, which is located about a 5 minute drive away, since we normally don't venture to the area all that often. For some background, I usually pop over to my local Home Depot (conveniently located across the street from my neighborhood) for any last minute needs. Buchanan's is a deceptively large nursery nestled in a neighborhood with its own lot... the lot that was completely full when we arrived at around 3 pm on a Saturday. Luckily, you can park along the street. There are SO MANY things to see! They've got plants for your herb/veggie garden, flowers, fruit (both common and exotic), an impressive amount of house plants and succulents... Plants are usually labeled with tips as well as a note on if they're native and what they're good for as well as which pollinators like them, if applicable. Prices sometimes need a bit more work to find on certain plants but it's there - if not, there's usually someone nearby to ask. Prices for herbs/veggies are pretty competitive! The indoor plants/succulents/cacti can be more, depending on the kind. I found a 4 inch pot succulent for $80!! BUT the variety you find is amazing (especially compared to HD). The staff is also super friendly and usually knowledgeable. Compared to Nathan's, the plants here are overall more expensive... but they don't have as many signs and easy to find employees there. So I guess you're also paying for service here. In addition to plants, they sell a multitude of pots, seeds, and supplies. I had a lot of fun here. We spent a long time browsing everything and I left with a taco succulent as a birthday gift to a friend and a milkweed plant for myself (I have more being grown from seed but they'll take a while to mature). A note: some milkweed there had a sizeable aphid population on them, so keep an eye out if your milkweed will be placed next to other plants at home. I'd honestly get more plants if money weren't an issue and I had room for more! I'm still trying to work the land to be able to plant more. It's slow going. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I definitely see myself coming back when I've got land for my pollinator garden ready. I can see why their parking lot was full and why so many are huge fans. If I lived closer, I'd be one of the regulars, even if it's just to browse.

    We had such an amazing time going plant shopping during Memorial Day weekend. Plants have brought so much joy into our lives and we were thrilled to be able to visit one of the best nurseries in Houston! My husband really wanted a Venus fly trap for a long time so we walked in with an idea of what we were looking for. Buchanan's is huge!! They have a large assortment of both indoor and outdoor plants, pots, kind customer service, and plant tips for all kinds of plant parents. We ended up purchasing some succulents, another snake plant, Swiss cheese plant, and more. It was a fun day. Also hilarious, every corner we turned we kept saying "okay maybe one more." Ha!

I also got a vermiculite potting mix for my Chelsea Hoya.

I didn't buy any plants this visit, but when I need a new plant, will stop here first.

I went here for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago just looking, with one specific thing in mind I wanted to buy but expectations low (I'll get into that later). I did end up getting a small basil plant, and then a bigger tomato plant. Spent less then $7 and both plants are still doing good. They sell a huge variety of items, and definitely a spot to get more rare items. So initially I came across this place by googling what places might have butterfly pea and people mentioned getting it here here. Mind you though the posts I saw on fb were over 7 months old so I figured depending on season I might be out of luck, and so I went with low hopes the first time I went and they had none. (Wonderful selection just not what I was looking for, plus I had people waiting in the car for me so I didnt really get to look more in depth into all the plants.) I did ask though as I was checking out if they would be getting some anytime soon (I really didnt want to try growing some myself from seedlings) and the lady said they should in a few weeks and even gave me a card in the case I wanted to call ahead to see if they had any. Well she wasn't lying cause I went back today and they had the plant I wanted in stock! It was an impromptu kind of trip so I didnt bother to call ahead, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it as I walked in. Also walked out with a "dragons breath" and my parter walked out with a "mexican bird of paradise" and a "boxwood basil" which we had yet to see and the few other nursery/garden stores we had been to. We'll be back every now and then to see what other unique plants we can get. 2 pics show the bigger plants we got that we repotted as soon as we got home
