Dust to Destination – the start of something special

Four long years ago, Tejas Tropicals began as a labor of love for tropical plant aficionados David and Cheri Glover. Through intense work and dedication to their vision, they transformed 20 acres of land into a lush plant paradise outside Houston, Texas. The combined depth of David’s encyclopedic knowledge of plants -- cultivated since childhood and now shared freely -- and Cheri’s lifelong love and caring for all living creatures, saw the property naturally evolve into a haven for life and learning.

Today, the family-run nursery grows the largest selection of cold hardy tropical plants in the USA, including choice finds of the most rare and recently discovered species from around the globe. Visitors to Tejas Tropicals experience a greenhouse complex, pond, thriving bamboo grove, pavilion for groups of plant lovers to gather and learn and housing for the monkeys, the kangaroos, the geese and the swans which lend their charm to this destination location.
