About TLC Garden Centers

Growing With Oklahoma Since 1980

TLC Garden Centers was originally founded in 1980 by Charles and Linda Shackelford. In the decades since, TLC has grown into one of the most comprehensive nursery, greenhouse and landscape retailers in the country. Our goal has always been to offer the highest quality plants and supplies at reasonable prices, backed by knowledgeable experts to create a unique shopping adventure.

That foundational drive still rings true today – and it’s the driving force behind everything we do.

Founders Charles and Linda Shackelford

Our flagship store on Memorial Road began as a humble plant shop and greenhouse. Today, it has blossomed into a massive 20 acre operation including expansive retail nursery and greenhouses, as well as a large climate controlled plant growing facility. Since we grow many of our own plants right here, we know which varieties not only survive, but thrive in Oklahoma’s challenging climate.

Happy TLC Customers

I've purchased several plants from here and they've all been healthy and happy. Employees are knowledgeable and helpful. I live quite a bit away but this place is worth the drive.

Falena via Google

Great people, great plants, great prices. Thought I found a better price, when delivered the quality was sickly. I'll go to TLC first from now on.

Anonymous via Google

We were just going to look at trees and came across a couple that were a good deal. We were asked multiple times whether we needed any assistance and when we did they were right there and answered all our questions. Awesome place! Love it!

Marj via Google

Such a beautiful place and the best employees. Probably the most professional and caring people I’ve encountered in years; they made my day!

Emily via Google

Huge greenhouse for outdoor shrubbery and indoor plants, to cacti and succulents. They have so much variety. A true gem.

M via Google
This place is amazing. The selection is great, but what I was really impressed with was the customer service by all their employees. Especially in the post-pandemic world of terrible service.
