Sledd Nursery

called all over town and this was the only place that had live ladybugs to help me combat aphids on my crape myrtle trees. The lady over the phone told me she’ll have them the next day. I went to the store the next day and as promised, she had them. No complaints here. Thanks!

I called about a specific tree. He was very helpful on the phone telling me what he had in stock. Then I told him I found the same size tree about $ 40 cheaper on the other side of town. He ended his call as a smart ass saying «enjoy your treat cheep tree» then hung up.

‘Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house not a gift for my mother-​not even an… ounce.
I’m not a poet nor a songwriter so I’ll stop there.
Not sure where to begin to brag about this hidden gem’s high quality of products and service. It truly blew my mind how smoothly it all went.
My experience was remarkable from the beginning. I initially called to ensure the hours (as it was Christmas Eve) and the owner’s son said I was welcome to stop by whilehe finished watering to do. This unnecessary gesture that he went out of his way to accommodate me is something I place high value in and makes me want to support a store such as this even more.
In addition to the wonderful service (did I mention DELIVERY!!!) I received. My mother and I could not be happier with the purchase of the schfellera tree. It really makes an apartment feel more like home! I definitely recommend!

I love Sledd’s nursery. As a clarksville local (clarksvillain???) I walk by Sledd’s all the time. I finally stopped in the other day because I decided my black thumb could probably handle a succulent garden. Their selection was amazing. I was so inspired! I went by after work and they were closing but stuck around to help me. As a former retail employee I know how annoying it can be when someone walks in right at the end of your work day, but they were pretty nice about it. They also gave me tips on how to care for my new friends. I try to patronize my neighborhood whenever I can — so I will definitely be popping in again. It is on the expensive side, but they have some pretty unique botanicals and great customer service. Check it out!

I suppose folks in Clarksville enjoy spending WAY more than they have too. The prices were offensive. All the questions that I posed to the gentleman behind the counter, he googled. I could have done that.

I am a long time and experienced gardener. I have visited pretty much every nursery in north and central Texas. I give Sledd a so-​so recommendation. They have great looking nursery stock and nice variety for such a small place if you are not looking for native or xeriscape. The plants are very healthy and I have had good success finding what I want here. The big negative for me is that the manager of the place always puts a hard sell on me to buy items that I don’t want if they don’t have the specific plant I’m looking for. He is a bit of a «know it all» and tries to parlay his knowledge into sales of gimmicky and expensive plant foods and soil amendments that are just not worth the price. Check out is a little clumsy and if he is at the store it is impossible to purchase your items and make it back to your car without him following you around or to the parking lot trying to make another sale.

Where to start– they carry plants that are not for the area (azaleas, camellia’s, other acid loving plants etc). and if you can find anyone to help, they seem to be «bothered». Oh, did I mention the price tag? They are super proud of their plants.
The only previous comment I can agree with— it is a joy to wander thru and look at the plants, but which nursery isn’t? Under the right ownership, that nursery could be the amazing, it’ shame :-/

I visited Sledd’s for the first time this afternoon with my family. They had a nice selection of plants for decent prices, and the main selling point was the service. The guy helping us really went above and beyond — he was extremely helpful and offered great service. Don’t let his stoic demeanor fool you, he was a really nice guy!
Plus it’s housed in what seems to be an old gas station and has a really cool atmosphere overall.

The people here are very friendly, but not very knowledgeable, at least in my experience. I guess I can forgive that – I appreciate friendliness. The plants, however, are probably the highest priced plants of any nursery in Austin and I’m really not sure why. I think it is either high rent or the fact that they stock a large number of Monrovia plants in the garden center, which are expensive plants even to nurseries at cost. Everything looks good – and should, at that price – but can be found cheaper at any of the other very good, independent, and local nurseries in town.

Don’t bother going here if you are mostly doing a native and adapted plant garden that being said this nursery for being so small has a nice atmosphere. It is a bit pricey, though. I’m still planning a another trip here sometime because it is worth the occasional look.

I went to Sledd Nursery for the 1^st time this weekend with a friend. Right off the bat I have to give major props to the gardener there named Javier. Javier was eagerly explaining to us about plants when I stepped back smack onto a flat of begonias and crushed them with my wedge sandal. He pretended not to notice.
Then later on I discovered a patch of purple flowers that had the most amazing scent. I would close my eyes and inhale their gorgeous perfume and make a big deal about how good they smelled. I kept coming back a couple more times during my visit to get another sniff. Javier came over after seeing this and took a whiff of them then looked at me with complete compassion and honesty and said, «These flowers are actually unscented. I believe what you are smelling are over here, «and with this he gestured at another set of flowers a few feet away. Oh.
For such a small nursery this place is very well stocked. They have everything from flowers to vegetables to cactus. The prices seem a bit high but the quality of the plant is top notch and you can’t beat the variety. I ended up purchasing a very gorgeous bougainvillea for my front porch. I would have no clue how to spell the name of this plant but one of the owners very kindly wrote the name down for me after I kept repeating the name over and over again in a confused fashion in an attempt to memorize it.
Sledd is family owned since they opened in 1979. As always Keep Austin Weird and support local!!!

I go to Sledd Nursery several times a week. It is a great, medium sized, but well stocked nursery on 12^th and West Lynn in an old converted gas station. They have a wide variety of plants, shrubs, trees, vegetable transplants, flowers, as well as soil, mulch, compost tea and seeds. They carry the Rabbit Hill Farm products which I love, as well as a couple brands of worm castings. The parking is easy and they always load up my car, using care to put down cardboard or newspaper to keep my none-​tidy car tidy. They are very knowledgeable about everything a nursery should be knowledgeable about. And it doesn’t suck to shop for plants and seeds with the smells of Nau’s burgers wafting across the street.

Did I just wander through a secret garden filled with fairy-​folk and mystery alike, then wander back out on my lunch break feeling that all was well with the world?
Did nirvana strike me while my boots crunched through pebbles and I gazed at moss covered monkey fixtures hanging from a ceiling with slits of sunlight striking through and highlighting the viney growth around me?
Is this even within the city limits? Is this something out of Pan’s Labyrinth? Are those roses growing on the bushes in the front larger than my head?
Yes, maybe, and not quite, but certainly possible with a little rain.
Sledd, you’ve been my neighbor for almost a year now, I think I need to come in more often… oh, and I’m definitely buying basil.

Absolutely adorable little nursery in clarksville… nestled in amongst the quiet restaurants and shops of west lynn.
They’ve been there for decades, and while they aren’t in my hood, I still make a point of strolling through to peruse their inventory.
Grasses, vines, trees, herbs, veggies… everything you’d expect in a well stocked medium sized neighborhood nursery.
Beautiful old building, with fantastic vibes — the green just undulates with the wind — sending off subliminal ‘buy me and stick me in the ground’ waves.
Your plants are thirsty, get some compost tea here and let them drink.
All that grass and dirt in your yard is boring, dig it up and slip in something beautiful. Your eyes and nose will thank you.

Great locally owned nursery. Very knowledgeable staff! If you are a plant freak you’ll love this place.
