Get back to nature at this gorgeous greenhouse in the heart of Texas Hill Country.
You know a place is special when the entrance is a two-story glass-encased greenhouse dripping with tropical, rain forest foliage. In Texas. It's also been in the same family for three generations. While lush flora and fauna abound, real care and curation has gone into this utterly chic and special space - gorgeously great for any get-together.

Venue Features
The scene:
The Greenhouse at Driftwood is a special place in the heart of the Hill Country. Nestled between Onion Creek and Jackson Creek in Driftwood, Texas, The Greenhouse provides an elegant, unique setting for events in the midst of nature. The property has been in the same family for three generations and as you can tell with the structures and surroundings, it has been cared for each and every day of its existence. With lush, native plants, century-old Oaks, and rustic open spaces just miles from the Austin city limits, The Greenhouse is not your average venue. Attention to conservation and sustainability is a way of life here. The property has been using rainwater collection for primary water use since the 1970’s and most of the power needs are met using rooftop solar panels. In addition to conservation, promoting wildlife and bird habitat is of upmost importance. The first wedding at The Greenhouse was on March 2, 2013.
Standout venue features:
The entrance to the space is through a three-story, tropical greenhouse filled with rainforest plants including cycads, palms, orchids and bromeliads. The adjacent greenhouse, with a desert climate, houses cycads, cacti, aloes, succulents, and pachypodia. Each plant was carefully chosen and planted with care. Some specimens were grown from seed and lovingly tended over the past decades, growing into the mature plants seen today. The owners have a keen interest in cycads, a group of primitive palm-like plants related to ferns. These prehistoric, exceptionally slow growing plants are mostly concentrated in the equatorial regions of the globe. Presently, there are about 70 different species planted in the ground in the greenhouses. An estimated 300 to 400 species of these “living fossils” remain in existence in the wild today.
Extra perks:
Rental rates include: • One bridal portrait or engagement photo shoot prior to your event date, based on availability • One two-hour vendor meeting prior to event date based on availability, must be scheduled in advance • Complimentary use of The Greenhouse at Driftwood rental equipment including chairs, dining tables, and buffet tables. Inquire for a current list of rentals available.

A Desert Greenhouse Garden Party Venue In Driftwood Texas
In the twinkling desertscape of Texas, polished glass structures, invigorated by metal and stone, capture the eye and fascination of any traveler lucky enough to roll through the small town of Driftwood. As rural as it may be, Driftwood endures as a slice of Americana that melts a dreamer’s cowboy heart, so it’s fitting that tucked away in its countryside community is a spectacular home-on-the-range venue that’s equal parts stylish modernity and old-world elegance. The Greenhouse at Driftwood, owned by the same family for generations, has become a beloved destination for romantics wanting to tie the knot surrounded by century-old oaks and cacti. Just southwest of Austin, the venue is as much a savior of its surrounding environment as it is a key component of the scenery itself. The gorgeous open space uses rainwater collection as its primary source for flora and fauna alike, while helping conserve local wildlife and bird habitats. Plus, the grounds are beyond stunning.
