Lowe's Garden Center

"Excellent"

"5 stars for: offers a large variety, customer service and the employees are exceptional. 0 Star: quality of plants, and flowers, ESPECIALLY orchids. Little to no knowledge of maintenance and care. Do not buy orchids, no matter how beautiful they appear, from Lowe's. From what the employees tell me ("we get what we get") that would apply to any Lowe's. Presently, my blue orchid is on life-support. I knew it was in bad shape when I bought it, but out of 40, it was the best. That's not high marks. Orchid care 101 tell us to plant with well aerated holes, loosely packed. Instead, these were all were jam-packed, with no air-holes. I saw rotting, dried and dead roots. If you buy an orchid here, despite following the "ice cube a week" recommendation, it will die. It's not you. Shame on Lowe's."

"Lowes garden center.... as usual, their inventory is hit and miss. Most stores offer discounts on damaged, repackaged, flawed etc, merchandise. This store seems pretty stingy with this type of stuff even if it's out of season. Not entirely sure why, since I've found several great bargains inside the regular merchandise part of this store. This is also our choice location for the regular season mulch sale, as this location gets an unreal amount of stock delivered before the sale even starts, so your sure to get the color you want in just about any quantity! Anyone driving north on 309 past this location will see when the sale is about to start as they place several hundred skids of this stuff all along the back edge of their parking lots!"

"Good company, large inventory. Good service."

"Great"
