Plants and Products
Plants are always at the heart of what I do. Instead of keeping a static inventory online, I source plants weekly from trusted growers across Central Texas. Most of these are the same wholesale-to-the-trade suppliers that stock your favorite local nurseries, which means you get healthy, well-grown plants at competitive prices. For specialty or hard-to-find items, I occasionally source through retailers to make sure you get exactly what you need.

Custom Orders: Various plants are available year-round, but availability shifts weekly. Because of this, I typically don’t keep a “click-to-buy” catalog. Instead, clients reach out with their wish list or design needs, and I build a custom order. Prime planting seasons in Central Texas are March-May and Sept-November.
Local Sourcing: I buy directly from growers whenever possible, ensuring fresh inventory and supporting the local green industry.
Simple Process:
Contact me by email with your request. Order minimums may apply.
I’ll confirm availability and pricing.
A 50% deposit invoice is typically required to place a custom order.
The remaining 50% balance is due upon delivery or pick-up.

Curated Selection: You’ll get access to the same growers supplying Austin’s best nurseries, with the bonus of custom sourcing for your exact project.
Expert Guidance: Not sure what will thrive in your space? As a designer and avid local gardener, I can recommend species that fit your soil, light, and maintenance needs.
Flexible Options: From a single accent plant to a full landscape order, I handle sourcing, coordination, and delivery.

Nature and Gardening Books

These are my favorites for inspiration and instruction. *Some of these books feature important instruction or inspiration alongside plants that are not well suited for Texas, so make sure to research each species before planting in your Texas Garden.
