Our Story
More Than a Nursery — It’s a Family Operation
Welcome to MARS Gardens — a family-run nursery rooted in hard work, creativity, and a little bit of Texas grit.
MARS isn’t just a name. It represents our family:
Matthew, Anthony, Riley, and Shanea.
Everything we build — the nursery, the cars, the animals, the land — is something we build together.
This isn’t a corporate greenhouse.
It’s a working Texas property where plants grow alongside old cars, chickens roam near garden beds, and there’s always something being built, restored, or planted.
🌱 Our Plants
At MARS Gardens, we focus on:
Quality plants that thrive in Texas conditions
Clear, fair pricing
Healthy root systems (not rushed, overwatered big-box plants)
Practical varieties people actually want in their yard
We believe gardening shouldn’t be intimidating. Whether you’re planting your first flower bed or landscaping a full property, we’re here to help you grow with confidence.
And yes — our plants are out of this world. 🌎🚀
🚗 The Cars (Yes… The Cars.)
If you’ve seen our content, you already know — we don’t just grow plants.
We also restore and revive classic cars under our sister brand, MARS Cars.
Old Plymouths. Triumphs. Mustangs. Beetles. Corvettes.
If it’s forgotten, under $1,000, and needs saving — we’re probably interested.
Why cars and plants?
Because we believe in restoring things that still have life left in them.
Plants.
Land.
Old metal.
Family traditions.
It’s all part of the same mindset:
Never stop growing. Never stop building.
🐓 The Animals
This property isn’t just rows of plants.
We’ve raised:
Ducks
Chickens
Cats (including bottle-raised rescues)
Farm animals that have become part of the family
The animals are part of the rhythm of the place. They keep things real. They keep things grounded.
MARS Gardens isn’t staged — it’s lived in.
🌾 Built by Hand
Much of what you see here was built ourselves:
Carports
Shop structures
Garden areas
Workspaces
Growing systems
We believe in learning by doing.
We don’t wait for perfect conditions.
We build with what we have and improve over time.
That’s the MARS way.
💚 Why We Do This
We started this to build something for our family.
Not just income — but legacy.
A place our daughter can grow up learning work ethic.
A place our parents can be involved.
A place customers feel welcome, not rushed.
When you support MARS Gardens, you’re supporting:
A small Texas family business
Hands-on work
Real effort
Real people
🌟 What Makes Us Different
We’re not just selling plants.
We’re building something bigger:
A nursery.
A restoration shop.
A creative brand.
A lifestyle built on growth.
If you’ve ever:
Fixed something instead of replacing it
Planted something and watched it thrive
Built something with your own hands
Then you’re one of us.
📍 Come Visit
We’re open to the public and always happy to help you find the right plant for your space.
Whether you’re here for a few flowers or just to see what we’re building next — welcome to MARS Gardens.
We’re glad you’re here.
