Over the last couple of weeks, I bought some things I needed to get my greenhouse ready for winter. Most of the lumber, hardware to build the greenhouse was bought there last year.

I wound up getting one board too many - and they took it back no questions asked.

I also bought a new Bissell vacuum that was on sale. I waited almost a week to take it out of the box and use it. I discovered it was missing a couple of the attachments. When I went back to the store today, I talked to one of the managers in the appliance department. We went over to their display area, and he gave me the attachments I needed.

Also, it's the end of the season for plants. I talked to the garden center manager and he gave me a great discount on some perennials and on bulbs. I bought so many bulbs, I shared with two of my neighbors and unless I happen to find a bulb variety that I would like to have that I don't have yet - I won't ever have to buy bulbs again.

I am amazed at Lowes.com. Everything from the store is online which makes it extremely easy to check things out before heading to the actual store. Most of the time I just check online before making a trip to my local Lowes in Texas. However I did order a few items they didn't carry on the website. Very easy and cheap shipping too! Many sales and discounts come in the mail as well... Especially for the paint which can be expensive. I highly recommend Lowes.com and the brick and mortar stores.

Lowe's has always been my go-to store for hardware and gardening. They stock a good deal of items that other stores do not have which have uses that go beyond their advertised use, for instance the concrete mixing trays which can be used for fish ponds, above ground gardens and miniature play grounds for turtles and small pets while keeping messes neatly in one place.
Their prices are comparable to other hardware and gardening stores and they carry a good variety from different brands so you have a choice as to what you want to use.
They often have year-end sales that will blow your socks off at how cheaply you can purchase plants, bulbs and seeds, many for over 80% off.
They even carry Yellow Wood products which are hard to find.
They have a good return policy if things do not work out as expected.
All the plants I have purchased there survived and thrived and the gardening equipment; shovels, pruners, string trimmers are in their fifth and sixth year or use or longer and still functioning like new.
The salespeople can be a bit annoying asking if you need help every time you turn the corner, but it is nice that they are there if you need them, though good luck if you want them there to cut a chain or make a key! Still, they tend to respond fairly quickly when you press the call button unless you press it repeatedly, then I think they come slower just out or principle.

The personnel are friendly and knowledgeable and usually older, so more dedicated and on-task and they make shopping fun by creating centralized shopping areas where you can browse.

Their indoor garden area has cute garden statues, wind chimes, planters and arrangements so they have a good option of gift giving ideas to brighten up the home and garden as well.

Check-out lines are rarely long and move quickly and you can order on-line and pick up at the store. It is rare to find anything that is not in stock.
