I don't do WalMart, but I agree otherwise. I can't say I don't like seeing some of their floral offerings. They are lovely, but I've tried their flowers and I know I can do much better locally. The plants suffer from packaging and shipping and often what I have received is barely alive when it comes. It might be better for us if they changed their "zones" for our area, because most of the time their shipping is well after we have already planted, and well into the season when the plants suffer in the heat of packaging and shipping trucks. It just doesn't work for us here.

I live in a condo (townhouses) and the association does all the landscaping. I have zero interest in gardening. Even when I owned a house I bought plants and shrubs from a local nursery where I could return things if I had a problem.
Freezing cold in NJ this weekend but I understand these shows are scheduled way in advance. I'll find something else to do.

Well, as slow as their shipping is these days, if you order now you might get it by spring. 😃

For what it's worth, I bought those ivy screens last year, the expanding bamboo and ivy. I had a Kayak pool put in and I put these screens up around the base to hide the water walls and support structures. Everyone who came over went gaga over those screens. They've held up beautifully even with high wind days, snow, ice and rain and not a single ivy leaf has blown off.

Well, this weekend is one of the big local home and garden shows at the expo center, and it was quite crowded yesterday even with bitter temps and snow blowing off and on.
I enjoy going to the local shows and I enjoy watching some of the shows on the Q today.

And let us not miss that great HAMMOCK TSV? The windchill here is 20 below zero. Hammock,ha!

After buying a few things each year from them and having little success...I buy local too.

Never watch: Gardening or any outside products shows, cooking and kitchen shows, electronics shows, jewelry shows (used to when they had real jewelry), SG, Basso, LG (both of them), WEN, JR, or QF. Also don't watch D&Co. when that male vendor is on.
That still leaves a lot, but I'm trying to wean myself off TV altogether during this political season.
