San Antonio Current Readers' Choice - Best Nursery
| "Twenty-seven-year-old Shades of Green is an oasis in the heart of near-Northside SA. The cabin-like main shop, pathways, fountains, and cedar arbors are crowded with bougainvillea, roses, tropical hibiscus, scented geranium, kitchen herbs, and what seems like every lovely blooming thing under the sun — plus the pots, plain or glazed works of art, to put them in if you’re container gardening. In fact, it would all be a bit overwhelming if the staff weren’t truly helpful, and willing to walk you all around their verdant maze to find plants that will work for your personal garden. They play matchmaker, too. Last visit, following a sentence that began with, “You know what you need on your patio … “ the Current went home with a Rangoon Creeper in addition to her bag of all-natural (that’s the standard at Shades of Green, as are natural pest-control products like corn meal and Neem Oil) potting soil." |
