Natural Gardener

While Aunt Sharon was in town a couple of weeks ago, we visited Natural Gardener, Nicholas' favorite nursery in Austin. It is the place to go for native Texas plants. Sawyer enjoyed his first trip by napping the whole time!

Really big swiss chard!

One tall agave!

Afterwards we had lunch at Potbelly and admired this cutie!
