We Know What Grows Here, and We Grow It Ourselves
For decades, we've been living and gardening in this area. We're deeply familiar with the soil, the climate, the trees, and the plants; we know what thrives in the Texas heat because we grow it ourselves at Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape. No matter the season, Shades of Green can help you complete your gardening project and maintain your lawn and landscaping - check our events page and get ideas for your gardens and lawns.
We specialize in native perennials for a good reason: like us, they're from here. They've made their home in the hot summers and unpredictable winters for centuries. They're perfectly adapted to North Texas soil and pests. These plants don't just survive here—they thrive here. Planting these native and select well-adapted plants in your yard means you'll use less water, less fertilizer, and less pesticide, which leads to healthier soil and beautiful, long-lasting landscaping.
Visiting our garden center is nothing like a big box nursery experience. Our team of experts make gardening fun again! We're equipped to answer any questions you have about gardening in Frisco, Texas and the surrounding area, and we empower you to embrace your green thumb and cultivate a beautiful yard. We offer practical planting solutions based on the regional climate as well as your unique outdoor environment: how much sunlight it gets, how often you're able to water it, how protected it is, and how much or little you want to be hands-on with your plants.
Don't spend another dollar on a plant that isn't equipped to live in North Texas—it's disappointing for you and the plant both. Contact us to learn more about native perennials, trees, and shrubs, or schedule a visit to our beautiful nursery. We'd love to show you around.
