Garden center Vs other buying sources
Hello - If I see a plant at a garden center that I like, (Home Depot,
Kmart, Wallmart), I go ahead and buy it, then when I get home, I do research
on the Web to see what it's all about. Sometimes I even post messages on
forums to ask about personal experiences with the plant. After all that = if
I don't like it, I bring it back to the garden center on my routine trip
back a week later..
Home Depot & Wallmart will even take it back if it's dead up to a year
later. Matter of fact, if you have the original pot it came in = at Home
Depot, you don't even need a receipt, they'll scan the pot, & give you your
money back. You could probably have a dead weed in the pot, and they will
return your money. Ha!
Think about this = plant the plant, and up to a year later, if you decide
you don't like it, pull it up and bring it back to Home Depot and they'll
gracefully return your money.
Since Home Depot doesn't have sales, only low prices, they have a new policy
of just scanning the merchandize, and returning your money = they don't even
ask for the receipt. You must have a pot with a specially made Home Depot
brand scanning label on it though.
How's that compared to another plant source, where you might spend $45 for a
tree, or shrub, then all you can do after that is pray that it'll grow &
stay alive.
