Every good thing starts somewhere.
Plants, propagation, and the growing space taking shape at Cross SL Ranch.

From a cutting to a growing program.
Some things begin with a seed. Others start with a cutting, a young plant, or an idea we want to try.
We’re developing our gardens, propagating plants, and learning what thrives near Bellville, Texas. Fig propagation and berry-growing projects are part of that work. We want to understand the plants, learn from the results, and share the process—not pretend every experiment succeeds.
A nursery is more than a collection of plants.
It takes space to propagate, room to grow on, and a way to observe what happens over time. Our greenhouse project is one part of building that foundation.
