Garden Center at The Home Depot

"The bagged vegetable soil was of such low quality, that when I planted my grocery row crops they either didn't grow new leaves or looked yellow and unhealthy. Some of the plants were herbs which have a very good tolerance for growing in extremely poor soil. There were so little nutrients in this "vegetable soil" my herbs were like a potted bonsai tree not growing at all despite being in a large raised bed. I added fertilizer, blood meal, bone meal, and none of these helped me get a yield. After further trial and error I have found that degraded residential native dirt is of higher quality for growing plants. Using native dirt I was able to harvest so much okra I had to distribute it to other houses."

"Most of the plants are DRY! WILTING! Very unusual for this place. Most of the time their plants are sooo soggy!! Plants were definitely neglected this visit. Very disappointed!"

"I love the enclosed garden loading service currently going on. You drive up & a HD employee loads your car with mulch & soil. Be sure to go to the cashier, pay first, then show your receipt to the outside loaders. I keep going back for more mulch! FYI-- the Little Road store does Not have this outside loading service. Hope this store continues this outdoor service!"

"The garden center is okay. I think they should have a clearance aisle for the plants that need quick sale and i think some of the prices are a little steep. Also the little plants that cost $1.12 should have more variety like they used to a few years ago. Native plants that grow wild in the woods around here should not be sold for$20 for a little one- but thats not just thisone but all the home depots around. The customer service is outstanding and i am very happy theylet me brng my dog in she loves the attention. If the garden center would do just those things lower prices on some of the plants and get more variety in- it would be super. Right now its a tossbetween here and walmart. They have better variety sometimes but i live right by this home depot. Thank you"

"I called the store about 7:30PM to find out how late the garden part of store is open. I know it closes before the rest of store closes. I stayed on phone over 20 minutes and keep hearing how important my call was. I guess not important enough to answer the phone. This is not a busy time it the store."
