I have been a gardener for 20 years in Texas and California. I like to design gardens based on a natural process of discovery and creation. You can get an idea of what kind of work i do by looking at my garden, my work. Actually this whole website is an expression of my gardening intentions. I use to say i specialized in native plants but really i specialize in anything that grows in Austin with as little fuss as possible. My extensive travels have caused me to be one of those insatiable collectors. I grow plants from all over the world. In the future i will provide a sellection of plants for sale.

If you have any need for gardening services call me at 512-441-6851 or email me at markn@plantx.com.. I consult for $85 an hour. I can tell you any and everything you might want to know about your garden plans: from irrigation, stone walls, ponds, fences, plant types, drainage, really anything pertaining to gardening. I am also selling the images i have on this website, thus all images are copyrighte. All my images are from film slides or from a high resolution digital format. I am probably going to start some tours of the hill country and Mexico
