Oklahoma City, OK (October 11, 2018) – TLC Garden Centers has been named a “Top 100 Independent Garden Center” by Garden Center magazine, a leading trade publication serving the independent garden center retail industry.

TLC has been listed in the annual Top 100 ranking every year since 1996. The newly released 2018 ranking lists TLC 24th nationally. There are over 13,000 independent garden centers in the U.S.
