We visited Carnivero last month, making the drive out to the outskirts of Austin after attending…read morethe Carnivorous Plant Show at Bad Astronaut Brewing. Since Carnivero did not participate in the event, we decided to make the trip to their nursery to see what they had available. Just like our first previous visit, we thoroughly enjoyed browsing their impressive selection of carnivorous plants. We were amazed by how healthy, vibrant, and beautiful all of their plants looked. I completely lost track of time while carefully admiring and inspecting their fascinating collection of exotic carnivorous plants. During our visit, I picked up a tiny Tillandsia, commonly known as an air plant or sky plant. This evergreen flowering plant is incredibly low-maintenance, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, making it an easy and interesting addition to any plant collection. Overall, it was another satisfying visit to Carnevero. We enjoyed admiring the wide variety of exotic and new plants they have for sale. It is always worth the drive to this hidden gem outside the Austin area.

Prices are a little in the high side but the intriguing beauty and the utility of the plants is totally worth it in the end! Staff was kind and had our online order ready, great black Friday deals!

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.

If you purchased a LivingSocial deal for Garden-Ville, I wouldn't recommend cashing it in at this…read morelocation. If you insist, you must print out your voucher before coming. 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.

I've been a customer of this McCoys for over 15 years. I have appreciated the staff and have…read morefound them helpful and courteous. This afternoon I went in to buy a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. I brought in a small chunk of the thickness I needed to avoid confusion knowing that I would need to drive around to the lumber yard to have it loaded. The Lumberyard loaded up a sheet that was obviously the wrong size--too thin. I tried to be specific about the size I need at the register but a mistake was made. That's okay. I left the lumber yard, went back inside to "return" the plywood and pay the difference for the size I had asked for. Jessie, the manager was extremely helpful though the whole visit. He's a good man. Then I drove back into the lumber yard and had the new sheet loaded. It wasn't till I got home that I realized it was warped badly. I went back to the store and spoke with Jessie--He told me they would make it right and asked me to drive back around to exchange it. I pulled into the lumberyard and was approached by a different fork lift man. I explained that the sheet was warped and I wanted a flat one. He questioned whether I had bought the sheet at McCoys. Then he scolded me saying, "Why did you take it?!" Then he drove off. Life is too short for this kind of nonsense. I'm not going back. From now on I'm a Home Depot man.

I bought a good amount of merchandise but something i took home did not work and had to return it. This return didn't work in my favor, turns out the customer is not as important as that extra dollar even if you are the one inconvenienced. That being said I still enjoy walking around the inside of this store.

I honestly can't decide if that's a good or bad thing because it can get overwhelming fast. You go in looking for one thing and suddenly you're distracted by ten others. Probably a good thing overall, just not for your wallet. I had to talk myself into putting a few things back because I didn't actually need them right away, but I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood to browse and get inspiration for home projects. The staff here is SO helpful. One woman helped me find a specific gift wrap and spent a good 10 to 15 minutes walking around the store with me to track it down. She was incredibly communicative and kind (I really wish I caught her name). The checkout staff is just as pleasant. Everyone feels genuinely nice and helpful, not fake or rushed. They don't just ask how your day is, they actually follow up and engage. The deals and prices are great, as expected. I picked up a ton of Christmas and hosting items that I still use today. Can't wait to come back.
