The Green Gate

The Green Gate is a commercial nursery that offers the usual offerings plus a very wide variety of propagated succulents and cacti that go beyond the average selections. If you grow and propagate exotic succulents and cacti take some time and go through the tropical greenhouses. We visit Seguin from Austin a couple of times a month and Green Gate makes the highlight of the drive. Note: the iPhone and iPad mapping is now correctly locating the site due south of intersection 123 bypass and business 90(Court Street). Advice: allot 30 minutes for a visit and do visit the antique roses. There are three or four acres of producing green houses. I would rate GG as one of the best nurseries in U.S.. I propagate epiphylum (Queen of the Night) and this the only nursery I have found offering rooted cuttings.

Unbelievable that I’m the first!
Green Gate is an incredible find. They get new stock fairly frequently of perennials, herbs, vegetables, and tropicals. Their tropicals/​succulents greenhouse is enormous and packed with rare or hard to find varieties of hoyas, philodendrons, dracaena, epiphyllums, cactus, and everything in between. Now, they don’t carry orchids, but with the selection of plants they offer, you’d never know the difference!
Not only do they have a stupendous selection of plants (where else can you find a blooming stephanotis???) their prices almost seem criminally low! They are currently charging just $ 1 for pretty much anything in a 4″ pot. A friend bought a gorgeous mixed 6″ container of shade coleus (at least 7 varieties) for $ 3. I’ve also never seen as many shades of bougainvillea as they carry… and everything is so healthy and transplants so well… which can definitely NOT be said about all nurseries!
I almost hesitate posting a review because then other people will know if it’s existence… but then I can’t help bragging about such an awesome establishment.
