If you’ve been in Austin long, you may have visited our old shop; Pots & Plants Garden Center, it was a fun little garden shop infamous for our flock of 1000 plus plastic pink flamingos out in the front lawn formerly at the corner of Bee Cave Road & Loop 360.  After more than 30 years, we closed that brick & mortar location at the end of 2010.    

 

We do still have our Four Seasons Container Planting Service as well as Flash Garden Pop Up shops (some are semi-permanent locations .) We also have a Quality Produce Program - we know the very best growers of seasonal produce.  Our Customers Reserve their orders and come pick them up on stated days/times.
