Hill Country Water Gardens and Nursery Outing

I love visiting plant nurseries.  Especially locally owned nurseries that have made an effort to have beautiful display gardens.  It's like going to a public garden's with the plus of being able to purchase a bit of it and take it home if you want to.  Last Friday I got to visit one of my favorites, Hill Country Water Garden & Nursery. It is exemplary in this class of beautiful nurseries, and since I live just 15 minutes from their 5 acres gardens in Cedar Park, it's an easy enjoyable outing.  I love going there and looking at their beautiful display ponds and landscaping. They are definitely the place to go if you want to add any kind of water feature to your garden with all kinds of fountains, pump equipment, water plants and fish, plus the experts to help you design and maintain your feature.  They also have beautiful pottery, and garden accents and many landscaping plants for sale, including unusual ones you won't find at the chain nurseries. Many are natives to our area or adapted, so they are suitable for Xeriscape gardens. Enjoy these photos and go visit their website: http://hillcountrywatergardens.com/index/ for their address and more info about what they offer. Better yet, go see it for yourself.
