Big box stores are more interested in moving stock, not the care of that stock. As a horticulturist, I've had second jobs with a big box. They discouraged plant care, like deadheading, removing broken stems, etc, as a general rule. Our job was to water those plants, move them around to make room for the new, fresh, stuff. Once their moment of glory is over, plants get discounted. Discounted plants get less attention. Then they're trashed. Big boxes actually anticipate a certain amount of loss. So very different from a real garden center or nursery. One more note-as temperatures rise, water-loving plants like hydrangea are a challenge to keep moist. I've watered twice, three times a shift! Also, they're in a less than hospitable environment, in a 3-5 gallon pot, almost impossible to keep looking good and alive.
Orange store, is that the TN volunteer store? All of them big stores clear things as needed. Our one WM has now cleared the bicycle aisle, they all are sittingnoitside now with clearance tags. They take a lot of space with low turnover rate. As far as plants go, all big box stores run plants that are pleasing to the eye. Yet they are plants that are usually always out of season. They have tomatoes or whatever for sale 2 months prior to last frost date in most cases.
Outstanding 😂
this is a good content, you can apply it to your garden

That's it I'm going to the Orange store! I've been wanting Hydrangeas. Good to see you.
That's cool save the plants ❤
Wow! Thanks for the heads up! Might have to drive around the back of the big box orange store myself! What a shame 😢

Did you do a follow up video to this? I don’t see it. Thanks!
Why 2 nods and not 1? Is it because of experience?
