In Texas hill country, just outside of the lovely town of Fredericksburg is Wildseed Farms
This is a destination in itself that can take the better part of an afternoon. They not only cultivate wildflower seeds, but you can also stroll the native butterfly garden and sit near a fired-up chimenea and try local beers and wines. As well, they sell the usual garden shop fare, like ornaments, birdhouses, planters, pots and grills.

Some xeriscaping...a word that came in very handy during holiday Scrabble games.

I love these stone planters for this kind of landscape--very organic.

And if you were wondering, yes, you can get a Virgin of Guadalupe fountain here.

These little bird houses are great for cottage style gardens.

In the event you might forget you're in Texas while bar-b-queing, you can get a grill with a state-shaped cut out, or a lone star. These are not for dabblers.

Not sure why this one is mounted, except maybe too many wine and beer tasters nudged into it and burned themselves.

Again, these benches resemble rocky outcrops; they're very natural in this setting.

The seed selection here will make you swoon. They not only have wildflowers, but lots of seeds for lawns that use native and drought tolerant grasses.

In this same area there are lots of wineries--the best is Becker Vineyards and it's surrounded by fields of lavender, which they make chotskies out of. (For whites try the Viognier and the best red is the '05 Merlot) unless you like really sweet wines; you can find lots of these along this wine route; and if you're up for encountering a French vintner who kisses one cheek, the other, then swoops in for a slobbering open mouth one right on the lips, one local vineyard is known for this. I won't tell you which one that goes on at--think of it as a Texas Hill Country surprise.
