Shiner, Texas · Coming soon
On the grounds of the historic Sunken Gardens restaurant, a destination nursery is being built — heat-hardy plants, repurposed containers, and Texas-history-themed garden art. Open in a few weeks. Watch this space.
The nursery
Heat-hardy plants for Texas summers, repurposed containers from local estate sales, and a small line of Texas-history-themed garden art and antiques.

We share the property with the historic Sunken Gardens restaurant. We don't publish their hours or menu on this site — see them directly for that.

First note
We're publishing what we know, naming what we don't, and citing sources as we find them. The nursery opens in a few weeks. Photos, a real opening date, and a Facebook page are on the way.
The property under the trees
Wide shot — the corner of the lot where the nursery is going in. Late afternoon light if possible.
