Hill Country Water Gardens & Nursery is part garden center, part peaceful afternoon outing. Walk among display ponds, watch colorful fish move through the water and gather ideas for making your own yard feel a little more inviting.

The Cedar Park business has served Central Texas for more than 27 years. Its nursery is filled with native trees, perennials, roses, herbs, vegetables, succulents, houseplants and water-wise choices suited to our climate.

The pond department carries aquatic plants, ornamental fish, fountains and the equipment needed to keep a water feature healthy. You can also browse pottery, statuary, garden decorations and gifts without needing a major backyard project in mind.

For neighbors who want help creating or improving a pond, the team offers consultations, design, installation, planting and local delivery services.

Hours: Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Phone: 512-260-5050
