Huge selection of trees, annual flowers, vegetables, shrubs, vines, some of the best selections of organic fertilizers, soils, and compost including full line of Ladybugs compost products including bagged leaf mold compost, sheep manure, cotton burr compost, etc. products which you cannot find at big box stores.
They are notable this year for including the full line of Chef Jeff's vegetable transplants with detailed descriptions of each variety. Very helpful, English-speaking staff, will help load and carry products to your car. Reasonable prices.
Sounds like an advertisement, but I am writing this with no compensation and based on my visit there yesterday and past visits as well.
Plants for All Seasons is not even listed in DG's Garden Watchdog. :( How do I suggest an entry?
Feldon, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will find a link "Add a new company to the list.
Plants for all seasons has been around for a long time. You are right, they are helpful and knowledgable.
I looked and apparently Local Nurseries are not supposed to be entered into Garden Watchdog. *boggle* They're supposed to go under Go Gardening. I'll take a look at that.

8 acres of the most healthy plants, a wide selection of Texas Super Star & the latest hybrids. It has earned a 5 STAR rating . East TX is beautiful even in August! Come see us!
I just went to a new nursery south of Austin called Reid's Nursery. It is on the smaller side but had a good selection of natives that were in great shape, even after this record breaking brutal summer. The owner uses organic practices and holds a lot of seminars. Check it out if you are in the area.

My favorite place!
A WONDERFUL Tx nursery is Pipe's Flower Ranch.
http://www.theflowerranch.net/
These guys grow and sell the most amazing, top-quality plants at very reasonable prices. The co-owners have been in the business for 20+ years and their employees are years' long vested people with a plethora of growing knowledge. Local municipalities frequent them for common area plantings and garden clubs have long kept them atop shopping lists. I highly recommend this nursery.
And fyi, Green Mamas closed up about a year or so ago...=(
My favorite nursery is fairly new over on Hwy 380 in Crossroads, Elements Nursery: http://elementsnursery.com/Elements_Nursery/Home.html. They also do landscaping. Had an amazing selection of harder to find plants this year and were great about ordering in plants I requested. I make the 45 minute drive at least once a week during spring and it's well worth it, even with several other nurseries much closer to me.
I recommend Painted Flower Farm in Decatur, for TX native plants, they do sell retail & their website is updated regularly so you can see what is available. Sorry no photos.

Correction to two mentions of one of my favorite places.
The name is North Haven Gardens.
Address: 7700 Northaven Rd, Dallas
Phone: 214.363.5316
Website is nhg.com.
They are also on Facebook where they post interesting plant pictures usually daily, and respond quickly to questions.
They sell Texas Natives, various soil amendments, some houseplants, seeds, chicken supplies, bird feeders, tools, books, etc. They have recently opened a gallery featuring works by local artists, potters, etc.
Sign up for their newsletter which will usually have a discount coupon. They offer a number of classes and also allow many local garden clubs to hold meetings there.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
