Al Cook is literally in the middle of nowhere. And it's worth the drive…read more There are several smaller nurseries in the area, and the big-box home improvement stores carry plants, and Al Cook beats them all. It has a large layout with a large selection. I noted several prospective shrubberies and researched them, and all of them will do well in the Piney Woods area with its frequent rain and hot weather. Which tells me that Al Cook would not sell a plant if it wouldn't do well here, whether it's flowers, bushes, or trees. Prices are in line with other nurseries and a little higher than the big boxes, but Al Cook doesn't benefit from bulk wholesale like the big boxes do. The man who helped me out was indeed helpful, including helping put the many shrubberies I bought into my SUV, and quite chatty. He even gave me a tip about a new barbecue joint near Bevil Oaks, and mentioned Beaumont's most loved BBQ place (as a newer resident who loves his meat, this information comes in handy). Highly recommended!

Good selection and helpful staff!…read more What's different about this place as compared to Lowe's or Home Depot, is that they have a larger selection of mature plants, like trees, so you don't have to wait as many years for them to grow up & start giving you shade.

Very poor customer service. Went in asking if they had a specific "pest deterring" plant, was met…read morewith disregard. When the young lady worker walked in I tried asking her my question, she clearly saw me trying to talk to her but brushed me off/ignored me and instead went out to meet a food delivery driver for her milkshakes or sodas. She then went and helped two other people before allowing me to ask my question, even then I was met with a dismissive attitude. Young lady told me "we don't have those this time of year" as if I should have known that. I have never had plants before. Didn't even recommend anything similar to what I was looking for so I left and I won't be coming back.
