I went to a nursery after the hardware store - assuming the hardware store would be cheaper and it wasn't and the plants weren't great either...

For instance, I refuse to shop in Wal Mart. Haven't shopped in that store in years, except when I have to take my momma shopping there, and then I DO NOT BUY. As for plants, what you get from your local nursery is going to be a better quality plant as well. That's my experience anyway. Another option is to beg cuttings from neighbors.

I go to a local bike shop for repairs and to purchase new things. They do a lot of things great. They treat you like a customer and they value your business. For example, if you purchase a bike from them, they will give you lifetime tuneups. Have you ever seen Walmart do that? Nope, me either! You are right there.

You'll generally get much better service and it helps support your local economy. And even if they had been a little over-priced, I believe in supporting local business at nearly every opportunity.

It's great to see that they are providing a great service at a great price (usually they are a little overpriced). I love hearing about how local establishments kill some of the bigger stores.
