John Dromgoole was the manager of the Austin Gardenville. He spun off his 
own nursery, "The Natural Gardener" many years ago.  You've probably seen 
John Dromgoole on TV or heard him on the radio.

We are fortunate now that many nurseries have appropriate plants and 
expertise. 'Twas not always so. Most nurseries carried what was supplied
by 
their growers or what was in popular demand. Gardenville was one of the 
first to cater to the local environment. The Xeriscape Garden Club of
Austin 
and the Native Plant Society of Austin are two of the groups which 
influenced public opinion and the nursery trade.The City of Austin
deserves 
some credit also.
