Garden Center at The Home Depot

"Do not buy plants from Home Depot garden centers, especially if you plan to bring them indoors as indoor container plants. I bought a ton of herbs a week or so ago and the profound spider mite infestation they came with has now affected my ecosystem of indoor plants. I had zero spider mite problems before my Home Depot purchase, and you can see the spider mites pouring out of the containers of the Home Depot plants. The toll of inconvenience is hefty, first to go to Home Depot buy the plants and the soil, come home and plant everything, and then discover you have a major spider mite problem. Now I have to pack the plants up, put them in the trunk, of course, on the way down the elevator one plant spills over, it also spills in the trunk of the car. So I’ve spent most of the morning covered in soil, and upset at how poorly the garden center manages plants (they are overwatered, a great way to ensure a spider mite infestation.) I have to spend more money now to treat the spider mite infestation that has spread to my pre-existing plants. Cherry on top: called the store at 8:26 this morning, right when it opened and when it wouldn’t have been too busy. I asked to speak to a manager, because I would imagine Home Depot may care about selling plants that are infested with spiders mites. Still waiting on that call back."

"I went to pick up some firewood and saw that the piles of wood had large amounts of feces right on top of the pile. It was really big!!! Must have been raccoon feces, but thankfully another pile was still clean-ish enough to purchase some. I hope they clean off or disinfect that pile of wood because it's a big health hazard."

"If you know exactly what you need and where it is, you'll do ok. If you need any kind of help or need to ask anyone anything, bring your walking shoes, an ipod, and enjoy the cardio from walking all over the store chasing bad suggestions. And bring a phone with the Amazon app so you can buy what you need. Places like this would do way better having a kiosk at the entrance where you can search what you need and have the machine tell you where it actually is."

"The staff is friendly enough, but they do not have enough people to handle a Saturday rush. And to top it off, when their systems are slow or go down, they reeeally go down. Lines backed up 10-15 people deep on the one garden register alone."

"I just wanted to write this review for my experience with one sales associate. We were purchasing various garden plants and needed some assistance. Mrs. Lisa Brown was the person helping us. she was very knowledgeable on what we needed to buy and helped us gather everything in no time. it was one of the most pleasant shopping experiences we had at this location."
