Year-Round Garden Season
Gardening season is year-round here in Louisiana, and there’s always something new sprouting at TPG – The Plant Gallery. Our family has been in the plant business since 1991 when we opened a small shop in the French Quarter with just two employees. Today, our facility staffs more than 60 licensed landscape architects, horticulturalists, florists, contractors, and technical professionals to handle your every need. Treat yourself to a day exploring our 5,000-square-foot gift center and greenhouses, or let us come to you for a personalized landscape design consultation.
