FLO TEX Garden Center

FLO TEX Garden Center is a locally run nursery and garden center on U.S. 259 serving Longview gardeners and landscapers. It is one of a handful of independent garden centers in the area, and independents matter in this category — the people behind the counter know what actually survives an East Texas July and what will not make it past the first hard freeze. The center keeps an active Facebook presence where new arrivals and seasonal stock get posted, which is often the fastest way to know when the spring annuals or the fall mums have landed. Being on the U.S. 259 corridor makes it a convenient stop for customers on the north side of Longview and out toward Gregg County's Precinct 1. If you have a landscape project, a bare flower bed or a pot on the porch that needs rescuing, a local garden center is where you can describe the problem out loud and get a real answer.
