Specialties
We specialize in providing Central Texans with quality plants, great customer service, and an amazing selection. One of the biggest inventories of Texas native plants anywhere in the state, most are propagated and grown on site. On our 5 acres we have everything from large specimen trees, shrubs, cacti, and agave to a huge variety of perennials, annuals, succulents, vines, and grasses. We offer one of the best assortments of 4″ material you’ll ever find. Our pottery and gift shop is unique and ever-changing. We have a wide range of soils, mulches, composts, and amendments as well as a full arsenal of organic insecticides, fungicides, and fertilizers. We are staffed with long-time passionate gardeners that love plants and love helping people with them. We can be kind of hard to see from the road, but we’re worth finding!
History
Established in 1986.
Barton Springs Nursery was established by Conrad and Bernardine Bering in 1986 at a site just off of Barton Springs Rd. We relocated to our current location on Bee Cave Rd in 1991. Still local and family-owned, we continue to grow most of our own plants, making us a nursery in the truest sense. We’ve continued to grow thanks to our loyal customers and hard-working staff.
Meet the Business Owner
Conrad B.
Business Owner
A Houston surfer at heart, Conrad and his wife Bernardine set down roots in Austin while attending UT back in the day. The laid back vibe and plentiful waterways kept them loyal to area and Austin is lucky to have them. Selling plants that he grew has always been one of Conrad’s dreams and almost 30 years later I would say he way pretty good at it. You may see him «shredding the glass» in the early morning on Lake Austin or trailblazing on the side of the road to collect seed for a plant that caught his eye.
