Gottesman Residential is thrilled to partner with New Native Gardens, Austin's foremost experts in crafting, installing, and maintaining exceptional container plant designs.
Story
What inspired you to start New Native Gardens, and how has your journey evolved over the years?
I've lived in Austin my whole life and always loved how it blends creativity, design, and nature. Inspired by spots like Gardens on 35th and Lake Flato's architecture, I jumped at the chance to start something new when my brother-in-law, Matt, moved back to Austin. With his plant-styling experience and our shared vision, New Native Gardens was born, and has since grown into a passionate team creating curated container plantings across the city.
About
How would Native Gardens be described in three words?
Potted. Plant. Personalized
Expertise
What sets New Native Gardens apart from other plan design services in Austin?
Expertise is the baseline—what sets us apart is our personal, hands-on approach. From consult to install, we handle every detail so you can enjoy a seamless transformation. We ten, collaborate, and do the heavy lifting—literally. And when you call us again, we'll remember every detail. In a growing city like Austin, that kind of relationship matters.
Aesthetic
What are some ways New Native Gardens blends container plants into a home's aesthetic?
It all begins with understanding your style. In our consultation, we'll talk through color, architecture, and overall vibe to guide our plant and container choices—whether it's trimmed boxwoods in classic urns or a sculptural maple in a sleek, modern planter. Every detail is intentional, creating a look that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Investment
What Makes High-End Containers and Professional Plant Design a Worthwhile Investment?
Think of it like the perfect artwork or sofa—it's the finishing touch that completes a space. A thoughtful container and plant pairing creates a lasting, intentional focal point, not just filler. It looks better, lasts longer, and elevates how your space feels every day.
Austin
If You Could Design a Dream Potted Plant Arrangement for Any Austin Landmark, Where Would It Be and What Would You Choose?
We'd love to design plant arrangements for The Driskill, especially its iconic bar. Its historic charm and cozy atmosphere are perfect for greenery that nods to both old Austin and West Texas. Fernwood Sansevieria would be ideal—low-light friendly, and desert-inspired. A bold statement planter at the entrance would set the tone the moment you walk in.
Upcoming
What's next for New Native Gardens? Any exciting projects or new offerings on the horizon?
We're celebrating five years—a big milestone for our family-run company! Our team is growing, our showroom is expanding, and we're adding specialty containers and expanding maintenance services. We're even taking on projects beyond Austin—all to make the experience more effortless and enjoyable for our clients.
