A well-liked nursery in Austin is expanding its influence with a beautiful new showroom. Barton Springs Nursery’s<\/a> new Design Studio & Showroom<\/a> opened March 16 at 910 N. Lamar. It will be used to set up landscape services, sell furnishings and gifts, and show off plants in interesting, architectural ways \u2014 maybe even some that folks can try at home.<\/p>\n

The 3,500-square-foot space looks a bit like a garden-inspired library, with a few different spaces to sit down and lots of books on display that guests can buy. People are encouraged to “unwind, linger, and gather.”<\/p>\n

Visitors stopping by to set up services can take their project in two directions: landscape architecture and garden installation. They’ll meet with experts to consult about their outdoor spaces; staff will help evaluate the health of existing plants, check sun and shade conditions, identify possible challenges with soil or the rest of the site, and just help with ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cRooted in the belief that gardens are not just places, but also experiences, and we truly hope this space inspires people to slow down and reimagine how we live, gather, and connect through landscapes that feel personal, grounded, and alive,\u201d said studio and showroom owner Amy Hovis in a press release.<\/p>\n

Guests don’t need a big project for an excuse to stop by. They can also come to browse and purchase furnishings, garden accessories, and textiles from Oaxaca. The famous French brands Fermob and Tiptoe supply furniture for retail; the showroom is the only retailer in the country to carry Tiptoe, the release says. Its modular designs allow for customization, and some of the materials are reclaimed to reduce waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing these brands into our showroom has been a long-held dream, especially after living in Paris for a decade, where Fermob is found in parks, caf\u00e9s, and public spaces,\u201d said Hovis. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, joyful furniture that\u2019s made to be used every day and lasts for years, and similarly, Tiptoe represents everything our team cares about: thoughtful design, longevity, flexibility, and furniture that evolves with the way people actually live.”<\/p>\n
