pRaise for green star
We are super excited to have plants from you guys and the entire experience of doing business with you has been awesome! Thank you so much! —K yle W., Hermann Park Conservancy
I’m not sure what I am more impressed with - the beauty of Green Star’s plants or Mary Carol’s extensive wetland ecology expertise. Whether you are creating or restoring habitat, Green Star’s diverse collection of natives are sure to be a wildlife magnet. Prompt delivery, friendly staff and service with a smile…you just can’t go wrong here!—Karen Sprague, Houston Zoo
Your plants were amazing. Can see and feel the care you give them. —Fred Phillips, Fred Phillips Consulting, AZ
Your detention basin wetland looks fabulous. Very few “recruits” and holding a nice amount of water as well. This was a very successful project, which produced a eye-catching product!—Marissa Llosa, Houston Parks Board
Shout out to Green Star for providing another round of resilient wetland plants for my next few installation projects. Really thankful to have this resource in the city.—Philippa Johnstone, Gulf Coast Eco Designs
I have spent my afternoon telling everyone I know how much I loved your nursery and your team. They really were amazing and your plants are fabulous. I can’t wait to return.—Amanda Eubanks
Mary Carol is very knowledgeable on different types of wetland plants and have found the wetland plants she has furnished us have been exceptional.— Jerry Hawkinson, Earth Builders LLP
