This place is great! I went yesterday with my son, and the staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They will even help you properly pot your plants. I will only buy my plants at the Great Outdoors. Plus one of the all star employees gave my son fish food to feed the fish in their beautiful pond. I am now a life time customer. Thank you �

The best garden center in Austin! The oak trees on the property make it a destination, not to mention the variety of plants and expert staff. I love the place.
