I have lived in this area for four years and only just now discovering them! I have been driving…read moredown into Austin and Dripping Springs to find plants and trees when all along this place has been in my backyard. Very easy to find and plenty of parking. Even open on Sunday for those who are inundated during the week and can't get out except for a weekend. When I first stepped out of my car and began to walk around, it was dizzying. I felt like a kid in a candy store. So many tree varieties to choose from and I couldn't even begin to guess how many acres this place is. There are staff all over going about tending to the plants/trees but if you need help, they will go out of their way to help you. I was assisted by Adam who was extremely friendly and helpful. I simply had a question about a tree but Adam took me around in a cart giving me a tour since it was my first time here. In the end, I did end up buying a tree which they were happy to hold onto until I am ready to bring to my house. All of the staff are very friendly and Adam was especially helpful. They had trees I have been searching for online and some I thought I would have to buy from tree farms and have shipped here. And not only trees, but they have so much for bushes and shrubs and regular plants to decorate your landscaping if that is what you are looking for. Something else I really appreciated was there was no pressure. At other places, I have experienced high pressure sales, but here, they are very knowledgeable and just want to help. If you are looking to add something to your backyard or landscaping, you won't find a better nursery.

Some items are spendy, but if you look around, you can find some good affordable things. Quite a bit of unique furniture out back, lots of live edge wood type offerings, some are pretty good bargains if you've priced this type of furniture other tourist spots (Gruene/Fredericksburg). Even if you're not looking for anything in particular, worth a stop just to look around. Bonus points for friendly animals, dog inside, and a super friendly cat out back.

The prices of these pots will shock you. Expensive! Honestly, it's my fault for not bargain shopping locally because Pottery Ranch immediately came to mind. I impulsively bought a pot. It is 19 in. tall and 17 in. diameter and it's beautiful, but it was $150. Two weeks later, I'm at a Ross shopping with a friend and find a pot (same size) for $50. Both pots were clay and both made in Vietnam. Pottery Ranch had a lot of cool stuff and they offer military a break on taxes, but shop around if you're in the market for pots.

Recommend stopping here for quality dog food and bones. Their Non-GMO chicken feed and scratch really helps our hens lay larger and more nutritious eggs. Seems to help with their behavior as well.

Hope you all get a chance to stop in for the local "Mom and Pop" experience!

The best part of shopping here is the staff--they're knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer every question I have about plant care. I've spent a small fortune on plants, soils, succulents, and pots, but it's absolutely worth it. The Natural Gardener has become one of my true happy places, and I especially appreciate the free monthly classes they offer. It's a wonderful spot for both new and experienced plant lovers. Highly recommend!

Andy is a GEM! Her personality is effervescent, her smile lights the garden, and her helpfulness is beyond all others who I have worked with in your store and garden.

10 OUT OF 10!!!...will wander again. :-D…read more Absolutely blown away. Hill Country Water Gardens isn't just a nursery...it's a full-blown botanical mini-adventure. It's the kind of place where you come for a plant and end up staying for the vibes. Think of it as a garden center meets a peaceful mini outdoor museum. Everything is beautifully organized by plant type, making it easy to find what you're looking for...or, more likely, making it easy to get joyfully distracted while you wander. There are cozy benches for daydreaming, koi ponds full of personality, colorful lily pads that pop out and wave at you, and the kind of friendly staff that actually makes you want to ask questions. Inspiration? It's everywhere. From the water features, to the whimsical sculptures, to lush displays that make you rethink your whole gardening vision. There are restrooms if nature calls, and there are plenty of delightful garden goodies to buy/take home. It's rare to find a place that feeds your inner gardener, your creative soul, and your serotonin all at once...but somehow, this place pulls it off. I'm so glad it exists.

There are statues, fountains, and water-dwelling plants. Koi fish and gold fish are available in different sizes and colors. They have potted trees with tags that indicate hardiness in different weather conditions. Herbs and other edible plants have their own section in front of the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse you can find indoor plants. It's a pretty nice place to walk around and explore. There's not too much shade there, however. The rectangular ponds holding the water lilies also attract dragonflies that zip around there, so it's a nice place to watch them.

Since the Natural Gardener had to quit selling bulk soil, I've been looking for a new place…read more Gardenville has a number of choices and all at a decent price. They sell everything from fill soil to compost to rocks. My first problem is that my truck is just a 90's mini truck. They don't sell soil by the half yard. I tried putting a yard of their Superior Soil in my truck and about a half yard in, the truck couldn't take any more. The guy was cool enough to stop filling the truck and he charged for about a half yard. Would be nice if I could just get a half yard. My second problem is that their products aren't exactly the greatest. The Superior Soil was acceptable I suppose. I'm used to getting Revitalizer from Natural Gardener, and Gardenville's Superior comes up short in comparison. They did have a decent deal recently on shredded mulch and the mulch was fine. The location has been paring down their offerings. They had a crazy sale to liquidate all of their pots. Now they're selling all of their tools. Not sure if they're focusing on the bulk business or what.

I didn't, having never done so for any other Living Social deal, but this location of Garden-Ville doesn't "have the scanners and equipment to redeem" from a smart phone. To which I said, "Well, I wish you'd have mentioned that when I called half an hour ago." You shouldn't even need such equipment - the employee just didn't know what to do. So I drove home empty-handed, having wasted an hour (and 30 miles). I'd just hoped for a nice drive and to check out a different garden shop. But this place isn't a garden shop, it's only really set up for dealing with contractors and wholesale operations, not individuals. Again, I wish their web page or the LivingSocial deal had made that clear. So, 1-star experience. However, the price list looks promising. And the just-learned fact that Garden-Ville is the composting and recycling component of Texas Disposal Systems is redeeming.
