The nursery
Garden experience
A small physical nursery on the historic Sunken Gardens property. We focus on three things: plants that survive Texas summers, containers that have already had one life, and garden art with a Texas story behind it.
Heat-hardy plants for Lavaca County
Lavaca County sits in USDA zone 9a. Summer means 95-105°F daytime highs for months. Shade matters. Watering rhythm matters more. We're choosing plants and arrangements that work in the real climate, not the catalog one.
Specific plant lists, prices, and inventory go live once the nursery is operational. coming soon
Repurposed containers
We source containers from estate sales across the 75-mile radius around Shiner — crocks, galvanized tubs, enamelware, baskets, metal tins, cookware. Each one gets cleaned, checked for safety (drainage holes, liners where needed, no flaking lead paint), and matched to a plant or arrangement it can actually keep alive.

Texas-history-themed garden art
A small but distinctive line: ranching objects, ironwork, Czech-German heritage decor, brewery and railroad artifacts, framed pieces with a story. Sourced honestly, priced fairly, and tagged with whatever we know about where it came from.

Container + plant + tag together. Whatever's most photogenic that week.

Plant kits and arrangements
Once a container, a plant, and a care plan match well, we build a kit — pot, soil, plant, care card, and any small extras (saucers, moss, liners). The goal is something you can carry home and keep alive in a real Texas yard or patio.
Nothing on this page is final pricing or inventory. The nursery opens in a few weeks; specifics go live with the soft opening.
