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.

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.

I love David's Plantas!…read more Since COVID-19 started, I knew I had to find a new hobby; something that would give me peace and would teach me something new...that's when I found my new love for plants. For the last few months I have acquired a few new plants babies from different local greenhouses. After some research, I learned that San Antonio has an amazing group of small businesses that supports our local nonprofits through the sell of plants; David's Plantas is one of them! Last month they raised over $5,500 for the Thrive Youth Center, and they are always supporting a different nonprofit each month. David's Plantas doesn't have a brick and mortar, so I highly recommend you to follow his Instagram page for plant updates. He also sells a few of his plants at Cafe Azteca and The Friendly Spot (probably more locations to come soon). I have a little succulent from him, and is doing great! I like that I can always message David and ask him question about plants and how to take care of them. Looking for a new plant baby + want to help our community = Support David's Plantas!

THE Bill Varney (created and founder of Fredericksburg Herb Farm) created UrbanHerbal where I have…read moreto go to stock up on all products while in Fredericksburg.

My annual Girl's Weekend was spent in Fredericksburg this year. I was very excited about finally…read moregetting the chance to visit the famous herb farm that I had seen in numerous publications. So on Sunday we headed out and found that the place was turned into a bed & breakfast. We drove by and noticed Urban Herbal. What we didn't know was that the owner (William Varney) sold the herb farm back in 2007 but had some land adjacent to it and opened up Urban Herbal in 2010. I know that mid-February is not the time to visit if you want to see the garden in it's full glory, however the gift shop & labyrinth makes it worth the trip. We parked in the private lot and headed towards the garden where we were warmly greeted by William. He escorted us to his gift shop and I was so amazed at the variety of products he created to stock the shelves in this little store. From infused oils, herbal soaps, bath vinegars, bath salts/scrubs & lotions for the body, pet care to herbs for the grill, vinegars & seasonings for the palate, the offerings were mind boggling. William's knowledge was impressive to say the least and we were very happy that we got to spend some time talking with him personally, picking his brain. I ended up purchasing some incense, detoxifying body oil (juniper, geranium & grapefruit), lavendar/mint home fragrance, eucalyptus home fragrance, Herbs de Povence, lavendar/champagne vinegar & balsamic coffee/fig vinegar. After our purchases, William escorted us to the back garden. It was really wonderful to let my mind wander & meditate while I walked the labyrinth. William mentioned that he will begin workshops this spring. I am fuzzy on the details but he did mention that they will be posted on his website soon. I am truly happy that I was able to meet William. He is such a delight and has a wonderful, positive energy. I left Urban Herbal feeling refreshed & content. Definitely worth a return trip!

The young men that we met on the day of our visit were very helpful, kind and they had a lot of helpful information regarding the various trees. We were in the market to purchase some new trees and they did well with helping us make a final decision. This business focuses on selling more mature trees. They have a very large selection, various sizes and colors. Seems like they had trees from $100 to tens of $1,000's. Delivery & Installation charges were very reasonable. Delivery was 36 hours after we visited them and the install went smooth and flawless. I really like how the install team was punctual, they prepared the areas, planted the trees and cleaned up everything afterwards. Trees have a 1 year warranty. Absolutely wonderful job guys and completely enhanced our homes curb appeal!
