Walking up to the store, I was struck by how much greenery was everywhere, from flowering plants to vegetable seedlings.

Home Depot, at least at my location, essentially doubles in size in the spring, when the nursery spills outside into a large uncovered area, plus the gardening section and in front of the store.

Home Depot is typically associated with home improvement, but there was plenty to look at for a completely non-handy person with a green thumb.

Plants were arranged by variety and growing zone, which is helpful for anyone from experts to novices.

The rows and rows of plants looked nearly endless.

The planting season is important for Home Depot. CEO and president Ted Decker said the the company expects ” tremendous” sales in the garden business to report next quarter.

That section also contains mulch and other landscaping supplies.
