I wouldn’t say I’m an excellent gardener or a plant guru, but I do know a few tricks of the trade. I worked for a nursery one summer after college and gained a lot of knowledge there. So without further adieu, here are some of my no-brainer, tried-and-true, low-maintenance plants for those of you who live in or around the Houston area.

I hope this page becomes an easy resource for all you cool cats and kittens. Feel free to use it as a “grocery list” at your local plant store. Oh, and let me know if you have any questions about these plants- I’ll answer them based on my experience with them. I’ve had all of these successfully in my backyard for several years now.
