I've been shopping at Fanick's since I was a kid and used to go there with my Dad. They almost always have what I need and they know about the plants and trees to help me. Other places can only read the price tag for me. They have been in business a long time because they are good.

Great place for plant shopping!! This was my first time visiting, staff were all so kind, prices were low and variety was AMAZING, they had all the plants I had been searching for. Plants I could never find at Lowes or Home Depot. All of the plants they had were all so healthy and thriving unlike the plants at big box stores.Everything was so organized and shopping here was such a great experience, so peaceful and serene. Will definitely be buying all my future plants here!

The garden center sits on several acres and there are green houses and display areas which offer a vast selection of gardening. The garden center was a park-like setting because they have sitting areas, beautiful trees with lots of shade, including garden statues throughout the nursery. Even though it was nearing closing time their staff was extremely helpful and cordial.

What a hidden gem on the Southeast side of town. Definitely worth the drive out. Arguably the best garden and nursery center in town, I was very happy and impressed to stumble onto this establishment, which has been open for years. It is down a neighborhood street, but don't worry about parking as there is ample room. They have everything from trees to cacti, water features to animal sculptures. The staff is super friendly. Don't forget to ask about their frequent buyer rewards card. If you garden or plan to start, this must be on your list of nurseries to visit in San Antonio.
