A Family-Grown Legacy: The TLC Story

TLC (Tree Landscape Care) started as a small, family-run tree removal and landscaping business in 1991. With hard work, dedication, and a love for plants, we've grown into a thriving wholesale nursery- but our family values and commitment to quality have never changed. Every plant we grow and sell is a reflection of our passion, and every customer we serve is part of our extended family. Here are some important years in our history in business:

  • 1992- We opened our first TLC garden center in Monroe, CT.
  • 1994- TLC Garden Center moved to a larger location
  • 2002- We purchased 25 acres in Canterbury, CT, laying the foundation for our tree farm.
  • 2005- We transitioned to a wholesale nursery, serving the landscape trade exclusively.
  • 2007- TLC relocated to its current location at 742 Main St.
  • 2012- Our former location transformed into a thriving container-growing operation specializing in perennials and shrubs.
  • 2025- We have grown to new heights and we continue growing every day. Our container growing-operation now spans 25 acres, and our tree farm has expanded to over 250 acres.

At TLC, we believe that every plant we nurture carries our family's dedication, passion, and care. For over 30 years, we've built lasting relationships with our clients who share the excitement for beautiful, thriving landscapes. As we continue to expand, we invite you to grow with us. Your support fuels our mission, and we're grateful to be part of your projects-big and small. Thank you for being part of the TLC family. We can't wait to see what we'll grow together.
