I live in Maine and we have 1 Home Depot {so far --} I have found the plants
there to be a good prices and usually look healthy, I have had probably a
85% success rate --part due to the fact it took me a while to figure out that
at home I am zone 4 and in town {by town I mean down the mountain and south
about 20 miles} is zone 5 so I did lose some of the marginal plants
{Hydrangea}
I asked and the plant stock is from Canada and Connecticut so they have had
short travel trips and at least are New England
They also did replace a perennial that died after only a few weeks, have not
tried to replace others that did not survive the winter.....
the vegetables have been great with several varieties of each of the common
garden choices
getting help depends who is working on that day---- I've learned to recognize
which people can help and which are only workers
They also are a good source for mulch, soil additives, ornaments, walkways
{both build yourself and just stick in the ground} I have always found
someone to help 'reach the high stuff' and put 'heavy stuff' in my car {now
if I could just find someone to take it OUT of my car at my house:) !}
