Photo Essay: Is Edward Scissorhands in Houston?

Okay, it’s not really Edward Scissorhands. But these topiaries do look like they could have stepped out of a Tim Burton movie.

A little bit about the real Scissorhands: The River Oaks Plant House has been manufacturing topiaries in Houston for over thirty years. These sculptures are created locally inside the store. They have a huge selection of animals and other shapes that they produce and you can also ask for any custom shape you wish for.

The experience showed that people are getting very attached to their topiaries. They end up being named and considered as a member of the family.

The River Oaks Plant House is located at 3401 Westheimer Road in Houston.
