What it is

Sunshine Bonsai, Plants & Gifts is a first-party bonsai shop and greenhouse in Dallas, Texas, with an official online store at sunshine-midtown.com. The site calls it “the little yellow house on upper Greenville Avenue,” at 7118 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75231, phone 214-691-0127, and says it has specialized in bonsai miniature trees for 57 years at the same location. The first-party logo carries the year 1969. The home page says the shop has “over a dozen types of bonsai at a range of price points,” plus houseplants and a gift area with books, healing teas and tea pots. The About page says it recently added a large greenhouse and gardens behind the shop and has “a constant influx of new inventory of miniature trees that range in size, maturity and price.” It is not a membership club and not a botanic-garden class desk.

Who it’s for

Dallas–Fort Worth shoppers who want to pick out a bonsai in person, from a $30 starter ficus to a specimen bougainvillea, and gift buyers who want a tree that is already potted and styled. Indoor growers will find many tropical species (ficus, Fukien tea, ming aralia, jade, schefflera). Growers who want raw field-grown pre-bonsai, classes or posted mail-order terms should check other Nurseries listings, because this site posts none of those.

Why it’s listed

This is a first-party retail bonsai storefront. Its official Shopify store lists individual trees with dollar prices and Add to cart buttons, and it prints its street address, phone number and a written refund rule for bonsai. It is not a scraped directory card, not an Amazon storefront and not supplies-only.

Location

7118 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75231, the little yellow house on upper Greenville Avenue in Dallas Midtown. Phone 214-691-0127. The About page says a large greenhouse and gardens sit behind the shop. Store hours are not stated on site; call before visiting.

This is a nursery / first-party shop identity. It is not a membership club meeting hall and not a botanic-garden tuition desk.

Notes

Category is Nurseries. Sunshine sells priced bonsai through its own cart and has a greenhouse behind the shop. It is a retail bonsai shop rather than a field-growing farm, in the same way as the Brooklyn shop dandy-farmer.
Hours not posted: the site prints no opening hours. Call 214-691-0127.
Shipping not stated: the site has no shipping policy page (the standard Shopify shipping-policy URL returns 404). One Juniper listing says “No shipping on this product (in-store pick-up only).” Whether other trees ship is not stated, so this card does not claim mail order.
Founding year: the site says “57 years at the same location” and the logo shows 1969. The card does not print any other founding detail.
Template leftovers: the About page still carries a theme placeholder block (“Pair text with an image to focus on your chosen product…”), and the FAQs page reads “FAQs – Coming Soon.” Product pages print a hidden “Sale / Sold out” theme badge even on listings the store marks available. None of these change the prices or address above.
Some older listings have a $0.00 cart price with a “from” price in the description. They are in-store items, so the card quotes only listings with a real cart price, plus the Juniper pick-up note.
Geographic spread: Dallas TX is a new metro for the plaza and its first Texas nursery. The only other Texas card is the Clubs listing houston-bonsai-society (Houston), with a different brand, domain and category. It stays clear of Thu MO / KY / UT, Wed OR / GA / RI and Tue LA / WI / CO.
