Just found my new favorite *local* garden center! Native Gardeners is, of course, all about NATIVE plants! There were some plants here and there that were nonnative but labeled as such. Kind of in a residential backyard but has a legitimate storefront and plenty of workers, so upon arrival you know you're in the right place be sure to check out their seed selection, there were some really neat options that I have never seen anywhere else. Ended up leaving with a Texas wisteria vine, Gulf Coast Muhly grass, sideoats grama, and several varieties of beautiful salvia. Excited to come again! read more

Buyer beware. Native Gardeners sold me multiple separate, tiny trees crammed together in 5-gallon pots and represented them as single, multi-trunked trees. This happened twice--once with a Texas Mountain Laurel and once with a Texas Kidneywood. When confronted, they hid behind the botanical excuse that these are multi-trunked species. To be clear, what they actually sent me were entirely separate individual plants with independent root systems tangled together. Over time, independent root systems crammed into a tight space are guaranteed to compress, compete, and strangle each other out. Even if this is disputed, the site clearly represented the product as a single plant. I called them the day after the first order arrived, (the day the second arrived), to report the issue and was promised a callback. While waiting, I gently teased the root balls apart and carefully potted the separate seedlings individually to try and save them. The callback never came. The Mountain Laurels eventually died from the stress of being repotted. When I followed up, customer service told me they didn't believe me, blamed me for separating the tangled root balls, and refused a refund because I didn't provide pictures within 24 hours of arrival. I did eventually find that policy buried deep in their website, but I don't remember seeing it on the papers in the box as they represented it to be, (I actually dug a card out of the trash), and here's the kicker: they never mentioned that on my initial phone call. You'd think that would be important. (Unless they were waiting for their own ridiculously short recourse period to expire.) If there's a problem and you didn't photograph it within 24 hours: You're lying; no there wasn't. The individual I talked to essentially dared me to write a bad review. Personally, I hate seeing people act like they are unaccountable once they have your money. It might be a decent place to get native plants, and your experience might be very different as long as nothing goes wrong, but IMO, they don't deserve your business, and you can do much better. For instance, try EcoBlossom (ecoblossom.com). They are local, sell amazing natives, and as far as I know, aren't arrogant enough to think they can shaft the odd customer now and then. Best of luck if you do though; definitely "bring receipts". May the odds be ever in your favor. read more

I ordered 5 plants. They sent 3 and one of those didn't look so hot. I messaged then and told them and they said to send photos. I did. The sick one died within a week and I never got 2 replacements. This is horrible service and I'm contacting Paypal for a refund. read more

Ordered 30 plants. 10 arrived packed according to their website with individual packing and supports and cushioning. The other 20 were In a box that they taped the pots down but put nothing in to keep then in the pots or support them like they did in the other box. I received a jumbled box of 20 plants that was leaking dirt. All 20 were loose and bare root in the box with broken stems. They took no responsibility for the plants that were received broken and bare root. I now have 10 plants that look nice, 14 that are broken and unsure if they will survive and 6 that are just sticks. They basically said they did there best and the plants will be fine. Buyer beware! read more

Wow!! Want to help the Monarchs while adding beauty to your yard? I was amazed & delighted when I received my shipment (apparently hand delivered to my Grapevine address) of nectar producing plants.

Join in the effort to save the Monarchs & add meadow beauty to your yard.
