The Natural Gardener, located on Old Bee Caves Road, is a world-class nursery right here in the Lake Travis area. To say it’s a place to buy plants and fertilizer would, naturally, be accurate – but The Natural Gardener is so much more than just a garden store. It’s truly a destination full of educational and inspiring things.
It’s the kind of place you could easily spend hours wandering the 8-acre grounds and admiring natural beauty at every turn. There is something for everyone, and kids (and dogs!) are welcome. In fact, it’s a great place to bring children to help them gain an appreciation of nature and gardening from an early age. There are plenty of things to keep them entertained, including a butterfly garden, live animals including goats and chickens, a labyrinth made out of rocks, a teepee and several swings on the property.

From time to time, it happens. Usually it’s when my mom comes to visit and insists that we take our Weimaraner Moses, to the groomers to “freshen him up,” she always tells me. Some days that task goes smoother than others.
We have attempted to simply schedule an appointment with dog groomers in the Lake Travis area, but our big guy is a nervous pup and can’t deal with new people and loud equipment.
I guess I can’t blame him. A few years ago when Moses had a grooming appointment, we left him with the groomers and were told to come back in an hour. Within 10 minutes we received a call from them; Moses had become so upset and scared, he almost hanged himself when he tried to jump out of the waist-high dog wash bays.
At times when real grooming is necessary and the alternative of a professional groomer, washing your dog in the shower or out in the backyard won’t cut it, a self-service dog wash can be a lifesaver.

Texas loves leather. The ruggedness. The versatility. The feel of well-conditioned cowhide. I have been drawn to leather all of my life, and even study leather crafting a bit on the side to supplement my love for all things tanned and western. So when I found out that Town & Country Leather was opening their third and newest showroom in the Lake Travis area, I had to check it out.
Out off Highway 71 in Bee Cave near the Galleria sits an historic building that you might remember used to house Estancia home furnishings. Oh, but did you also know that it was the ol’ honky-tonk Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys used to entertain area farmers and ranchers in years past?

Soccer is alive and well in Lakeway thanks to the vision of Eryck Avila, owner and trainer at Avila Soccer. If you haven’t heard about this amazing training facility located in Lakeway, you’re in for a treat. From the mini Cristiano Ronaldo who is perfecting his “nutmeg” to the greenest soccer newbie, all levels are welcome at Avila Soccer.
Not only is the location convenient to Lake Travis area residents, it’s indoor, which means on the hottest of summer days, you’ll be comfy and cool. This is a great option for families with smaller children who may need a break from the summer heat or want to continue training indoors when things cool down a bit. Plus, Avila offers soccer clubs (Lonestar, Dynamo, Lake Travis, PAYSL, Town and Country), camps and leagues for children and adults all year.
