About Us

ABOUT US 

Our Mission  GardenSource's mission is to provide quality garden and landscape plants, materials, information and services of value to our customers. We strive to make it easy for our customers to landscape their homes and businesses with confidence, ease and affordability.

Our Commitment to the Environment  Our commitment to the environment is to offer plants that do well in our region, use the least amount of water, and need the least amount of maintenance. We also provide materials that are locally sourced; most of the plants we sell are grown by local vendors.

Our Delivery Area We deliver only to areas that are within 30 miles of Austin.

Our History  GardenSource was launched in 2014, after 5 years in development and 30 years working in the landscape industry in Austin. We started our company as a way to make gardening and landscaping easier for our customers, by offering plants that do well in Austin (most of them are approved by the City of Austin's Grow Green program) and materials that are locally sourced. We wanted to utilize our extensive professional experience, expertise and passion for plants, gardening and landscaping to create a business that helps our customers have success in their own outdoor projects.
