A true nursery in the heart of Austin.

A rare breed in our industry, Barton Springs Nursery is a real, bona fide nursery. We grow all our native and adaptive plants from seed, right here on our grounds—while providing humans everything they need to nurture those bundles of joy into adulthood.

Every 6 minutes, 

a plant baby is born here.

(Give or take a few.) Seeds are constantly sprouting behind the scenes in our greenhouses, the heart of our operation. Growing the best selection of native plants in Texas is what we’re most proud of in the whole nursery.

We love ‘em like our own kids (sometimes more).

A place for all thumbs to get greener.

We want our plants to go to good homes and grow up thriving. In an environment like Texas, that’s extra challenging. That’s why we make community teaching a priority through our Genus Bar, expert talks, and resources like our library. Come hone your plant parenting skills with us.

Where everyone can

be nurtured by nature.

We’re not just here to sell plants,

we’re here to spread the joy of being around them.

That’s why we make so much of our 4-acre property

available for guests to walk around and take in.

Come for a stroll or plant your butt on a bench,

and bask in the green glow of our grounds.
