So on my Birthday this year a series of odd occurrances made it possible to add a trip to Plugerville to our errands. In the end our errand was not in Pflugerville at all and we ended up in North West Austin, but not before stopping by a nursery I’d been dying to visit.
Greensleeves in Plugerville is a nice little native plant nursery. It has a real old Austin feel. They have a lot of great plants at very affordable prices. Lots of $2 and $4 pots. This is also where the guy who used to do the small native plants at Barton Springs Nursery has moved.
I’m a big proponent of experimentation as the way to garden in Austin. We have so many different soil types and micro-climates you really can only figure out what will grow with experimentation. So I highly recommend heading out there and spending $20 on a variety of plants and seeing what takes.
Anyway it was a fun birthday trip even if I didn’t buy anything. I’m at an odd place mentally where I need garden plans before I can be tempted.
Well, unless anyone has a good source for cheap Yaupon Hollys. I need like 50 of those.
