Last night I was able to take advantage of a free landscaping workshop made available at The Home Depot. The workshop was a Yard and Garden Maintenance workshop through The Home Depot’s Do-It-Herself workshops. I really didn’t know what to expect going in, but I was definitely pleased with the presentation in the end.
The Home Depot provided us with a knowledgeable employee from their Lawn & Garden department who spoke to us for approximately two hours. He was able to answer all of our questions regarding care of our garden and lawn without hesitation, and provided feedback about his own experience with his lawn & garden.
I know that their employees are supposed to be knowledgeable about the products that The Home Depot sells, but I was impressed with his ability to go into great detail about the effects of each product and what kind of results we should expect from the product. We received detailed information on about twenty products sold in their lawn and garden department ranging from weed killer to tomato plants.
The two hour class ended with all of the participants (five of us) receiving one of the products that had been displayed. I came home with a good size potted tomato plant, and tomato cage. The Home Depot offers workshops throughout the year on many different topics. I can’t wait to sign up for the next one.
