Lots of shade trees for comfortable browsing during warm San Antonio days. Beside plants they have a lot of cool fountains you can purchase. I have purchased annual vegetables and flowers here for decades. Sad to see them close, but looking forward to their next chapter.

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.

Very cool spot. We usually go to Rainbow Garden since it's closer but wanted to try something new…read more My only concern was I was specifically looking for native milkweed--the type butterflies can safely lay their eggs on--and the employee I asked directed me to tropical milkweed (I assume it was because they were out of native milkweed and had lots of tropical milkweed left?). They had labels throughout the garden but I hope they consider putting a few map posts someday. Loved the dinosaur statues! And the giant Over-Cup Oak (?). Overall, great experience.

As you walk around the grounds you'll notice there's also many greenhouses containing various houseplants. There's also a large variety of vegetable plants, cactuses,herbs, annuals and perennials. I was amazed by the large variety of trees: peach, apple, avocado, soursop, guava, walnut, pecan....the list goes on! Everyone there was extremely kind and helpful. The price of the plants were very reasonable and they have a loyalty program! You have 7 days a week to go check this place out- you will not regret it!

Since it was quickly getting hot, we didn't do much outdoor shopping, but she did buy a lot of seed packets and some lily bulbs. Things here are a little more expensive than other places but on the other hand, many places won't have the selection Rainbow Gardens has. The folks running it are also very nice and helpful.

And several times I bought tomatoes and peppers, bumped them into larger pots and put them in morning sun and afternoon shade to develop a better root system. Half of them died.
