Buchanan’s Native Plants

Brand spanking new 30.06 and 30.07 signs… you do not know the difference so you put up both… educate yourselves…15 years in the Heights, no longer will come here. Joshua’s here we come.

Love this nursery! There are so many types of plants and the staff are extremely helpful! They have succulents and cacti of all sizes and shapes! They also sell soil in a small ziploc bag for 99cents and a big ziploc bag for $ 3. We spent hours at this place and we still didn’t get to see everything. We will definitely come back in the future.

I absolutely love this nursery! The entire staff is extremely helpful and courteous, and are genuinely interested in teaching you about plants and gardening.
There is also a gift shop with unique and beautiful items for the home and gardener.

Everyone there is so knowledgeable and always willing to help. Their plants are beautiful, and they have a great selection! And it’s just a fun place to go.

Extraordinary nursery is found here. Chamomile flowers are extremely beautiful. They arrange the store super comfortable

My go to plant store for succulents! They have a huge variety and they all look very healthy. Thanks Buchanan!

My boyfriend and I were having a lazy sunday so we decided to stop by this garden center. Everything is so well organized and there is quite a hefty section of pots, wind chimes, bird baths, etc. It was fairly busy when we went however we were still asked if we needed any help which I think says a lot for this business. It gets a star docked though because i would say for the quality of the plants they are asking too much money. The quality isn’t amazing but it isn’t bad. I’ve seen better plants at lowes and home depot.

Love this place! BEST selection of indoor and outdoor plants and gardening needs! Not the most reasonable selection but still a beautiful nursery to visit!

Best place for all your gardening needs.

I really wanted to love this place. I really did. The selection is phenomenal and the place is organized wonderfully. I came looking for a miniature citrus tree but they were out of stock. No big deal, decided to grab a tiger aloe before I left. Picked a pot and a plant and the lady told me she’d pot it for me. How nice! Until afterwards when she tacks on a $ 5 fee. So it’s been about a week and the plant is pretty much on the way out. Trying my best to save the guy but to no avail. $ 57 bucks for an aloe that is dying. I’ll stick to the less expensive places with healthy plants.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff with a great selection. You pay a bit more than Home depot, but you get healthier plants and good service! I love this place.

Great place! We live in Cypress & drive all the way out here for their plants. I’m not sure of the other outdoor/​garden selection because we didn’t need any of that today. We will no longer buy plants at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
They had probably a hundred, if not more, roses to choose from. We got the last purple rose tree available. They have every color plus hybrids that are just stunning!
Their selection of all kinds of flowers, herbs, fruits, veggies and more is just crazy! Be prepared to spend a lot of time just wandering and looking at everything. Prices are ok. Some things are a little more but everything looks super healthy so you probably get what you pay for.
We will definitely return once we buy a house and start our garden! We will be spending lots of time here.

This is the go to place inside the loop. Their prices might be higher than others and well worth it due to quality of their products and the knowledge/​assistance of the staff. Stopped by this past week looking to pot some succulents with a pot I brought in and Clark was extremely helpful and nailed it with the potting service they provide (pic incl.). Take advantage of their potting service at a very minimal cost to avoid buying the additional shale, compost etc for a single plant. We haven’t used it yet, but they will also deliver to your home if you don’t want to lug it on your own. Great variety of organic fertilizers, vege stuff etc available and always someone to educate you on how best to plant, feed and prune. I’m putting $$ due to the plants being at such a reasonable cost especially for the high quality, but there are some pricier items such as potting containers some well worth the $$$. Since that time and with it being Spring now I’m in there at least every other week and the wealth of knowledge they share and time they take even to ask for assistance. Think I may have spent 2 ½hrs there last week and felt like I walked away from a horticulture course. I can’t remember all of the employees names and must say that Clark, Bonnie and Francine ROCK! Spend the extra few $‘s and with proper care you’ll see why their plants are of the highest quality.

Plant heaven. If you want to grow anything out of anything this is the place to go to get your goods. From succulents to herbs and vegetables to exotic plants they have everything. Not to mention it’s just a nice place to walk around on a breezy Sunday. Place gets packed on the weekends so it’s better to go early.

My Valentine’s request from my husband, was instead of flowers, to go herb shopping w/​him for my herb garden. We found herbs like spearmint, peppermint, different thymes, rosemaries, and more. There were grapes that looked wonderful. Many different citrus trees, which are hard to find if you don’t come to these indy nurseries. Dwarf Mexican Lime, Satsuma oranges, were some of my faves among the variety of what they had. Some of their prices seemed to be just a tad higher than Joshua’s, but to me, they’re not really the same kind of nursery, so its sort of a wash. Buchanan’s has a nice variety of Red bud trees, roses and lots of fun garden accessories, seeds, fertilizers, etc. Everyone was nice and helpful. Some of the smaller plants weren’t priced, but it wasn’t a big deal. There’s definitely a return trip in the very near future!

If you are looking for good quality plants or for unique gifts even, Buchanan’s is the place to visit!
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Plants are (for the most part) very clearly labeled with species and even pricing. And even if you can’t find a label, a staff member can quickly help you.
I LOVE their Bungalow. Outside is lots of cute garden/​home décor, and inside they have lots of unique things for the home. I have bought many orchids with really nice pots, and lots of other gifts here. They also have a clearance shelf where you can find some really great deals. (At Christmas I found some really nice 10−12″ tall wood/​iron crosses for $ 10 – 15, originally $ 50 – 75!!)
I only give it four stars because their painted iron garden décor is pretty expensive. I saw the same or similar pieces off Washington for at least $ 10 cheaper…

Delightful.
A true escape.
I want to bring a spiked coffee from home and just stroll around one weekend morning cuz this place is as cozy and cool as being at home!
Exceptional selections.
Incredible staff.
Soooo many options, variety of ALL sorts of plants from the most petite and delicate to trees and large intimidating green anything you’d need.
FUN and surprisingly planters, random garden décor and literally the kitchen sink for all your gardening needs.
NOW TO PRAISE THE STAFF!
They are above and beyond helpful!
Incredible people who seem to LOVE their jobs!
That’s a GREAT feeling!
There are popsicles available gratis as you leave.
Can’t wait to return and explore.

If you are into plants and tired of the same olé’ selection elsewhere, this is a place for you. I found two beautiful plants with the help of a friendly and very knowledgeable staff member to use in some arrangements for an upcoming wedding. Also wanted some zinnias, but the few they had were not looking all that great for the money. I do wish they had a larger succulent selection.
I plan on visiting again soon

I would give Buch’s ten stars if I could. I’ve always loved gardening and grew up with parents passionate about roses. After years in apartments I finally moved into a house with my boyfriend; a house with ample space and sunlight. Once we discovered Buch’s we never looked back. They have some of the best plants in Houston. For me the mark if a great nursery is bees and they’re chock full of em. The staff actually know what they’re talking about, it’s not just a job to them. Everyone I’ve ever asked for help here has given me great advice. And they are also fully staffed, you never have to go searching for an employee, there’s always someone nearby to help! I noticed that they have a guarantee on their annuals but I’ve never had to use it because their plants produce. For instance this summer my boyfriend and I currently have more peppers than we know what to do with because the little 3 inch pepper transplants we bought a few months ago have turned into pepper producing machines and show no signs of slowing down.
As if the supremely knowledgable staff and great product weren’t enough they’re also dog friendly! And when I say dog friendly I don’t just mean you can bring your dog. The staff keep dog biscuits on hand and will ask you (instead of just giving) if your pup can have one!
Your garden and your bellies (if you’re getting edible plants) will thank you for going to Buchanan’s!!!

This place is awesome if you are looking for anything gardening related. They even have «exotic» plants like venus flytraps and sell awesome little critters like bags of lady bugs (I honestly didn’t know they sold this stuff). Bf and I came here as we wanted to buy our first herb! I really don’t know much about gardening… sadly only good about eating my food not how it was grown. However Larry was really knowledgeable and super friendly to help us out!
Larry showed us all the different types of herbs to choose from, explaining the difference between perennials and annuals, how some need more water/​sun, and how to care for them… We finally decided to welcome BASIL to the family and Larry helped us pick out the appropriate vessel/​vase and even potted basil for us and set us up with a box in case anything spills.
IF you frequent this place you can join their club for discounts and deals and if you bring back the cardboard box I think you can save some money on your future purchases. The BEST part about this place is the complimentary Popsicle, a great way to cool down with this Houston heat. OH, and they also offer treats for pets, this place is GREAT!
