Labor Day Pottery Sale
Friday, September 4th thru Monday, September 7th
All containers and pots in the store are 20% off and some are marked even lower with stickers.
Whether your plants are indoors or outdoors, this Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to stock up on all the planters, containers, and pottery you could ever want.
Our Labor Day Pottery Sale only comes around once a year, so you won't want to miss out on our lowest pottery prices until 2021.
The Sale ends after Monday September 7th, so be sure you visit The Great Outdoors this weekend and make the most of these amazing discounts.
Thank you for all your support,
Tom and the entire staff at The Great Outdoors
A GARDEN STORE AND SO MUCH MORE
Located on South Congress, just 2 miles south of downtown Austin. We are by definition an urban garden center. However, with 2 acres of majestic Oak trees, a serene waterfall, a gigantic wind chime, and a tropical greenhouse The Great Outdoors is a bucolic destination. We carry a wide selection of native and adapted plants suitable for Central Texas gardens and homes. Our inventory includes seasonal vegetables, perennials, cacti and succulent, indoor plants, palm trees, shrubs, water plants, vines, roses, fruit trees, and more.
We aren’t just about plants here at The Great Outdoors. We are a full-scale garden center. We carry a wide variety of soils specifically crafted for certain plants. We also carry fertilizers, insect management solutions, disease control options and specific plant foods.
You also get us! With our extensive plant knowledge and hands on landscaping experience that we can lend to your gardening project, big or small. We'll also send you on your way knowing exactly how to care for your new plant! We also have a team of loaders who will carry heavy items, bring your soil to your car, and help you get that impossible plant to fit in your vehicle for a safe ride home!

Our Services
