Wildflowers, including Texas bluebonnets, are big sellers, but every plant for sale doesn't have to be a wildflower, or even a native. Natives and drought-tolerant plants, however, are the most popular. Helping sales is the landscape, which includes a walking trail. As plants surrounding the 10-acre retail area age and mature, the better salespeople they become. As the landscape grows it develops a softer, more inviting look that helps to attract even more customers.

That plant is available at just about every nursery in the state, but customers have never seen them presented the way we do it. They've only seen them lined up like little soldiers. With that many people, it's crucial to spread them out. Walking trails are at least 12 feet wide and are designed to disperse crowds as well as educate people on Texas gardening. We have to scatter them out, then they can rotate among the points of interest without it being too crowded.
