Handy Stop Nursery

Handy Stop Nursery Welcome to Handy Stop Nursery! We are South Texas' premiere garden center located on Highway 111 East in Yoakum, TX.

Handy Stop Nursery, established by Alan & Shirley Sommer, is a retail garden center located in Yoakum, Texas. Employed for over 15 years with the Sommers, Zack Bordovsky now proudly owns and operates this beautiful local business. The county line between Dewitt and Lavaca counties runs through the nursery just back of our 16,000 square foot greenhouse. Handy Stop has a very humble beginning when a Nebraska man (Leonard Zila) and an Iowa woman (Shirley Houk) married, moved to Texas, built a convenience store and then decided that maybe the locals would buy vegetable plants as well. Leonard and Shirley, both from the farmlands of America who also lived through the Great Depression, didn't know much about the nursery business but they did know two important things: QUALITY & VALUE! And now, 40 years later, the importance of QUALITY & VALUE has always been, and yet remains, a priority. The few flats of vegetables offered seasonally on the sidewalk have now become ten's of thousands of plants and trees sold annually. We wish to thank all the gardeners in Dewitt, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca and Victoria counties that have made Handy Stop a destination nursery. We invite you to stop by or give us a call and let us help you with your lawn and garden needs.
