Yes, even 5 stars in the pouring rain!! This event cannot be missed for any reason; if you have a…read morevacation-- cancel it; if you're sick-- wrap up & go! You get my gist. This is a great sale, and I've been to many plant sales at Botanic gardens [ UC, Tilden, Huntington, Quail ] All are terrific and have their specialties. And I guess that what the Mendocino College sale offers are plants close to my heart-- Calif natives, regional trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and veggies for the upcoming seasons! The sale began yesterday on Friday, and I put off going til it began raining, so I decided to do it on Sat. morning, and maybe John would like to go to. And of course it's raining even harder today, but no matter. After a warm breakfast [ got to have eggs on weekends!] we drove the 5 miles up to the college, and parked in the grass lot of the Dept of Agriculture. I had in my mind a budget of about $25. This seemed alot since plants are priced $1.50 for small 3" pot, $2 for a 6pak, $5 for a gal container. But you know there were 2 of us now and we both like alot of the same things, but a lot of different things too. John favors succulents, grasses-- so we had to get some of those too. With umbrella dripping and finally hair dripping too, we go from greenhouse to greenhouse then to open areas-- so much to choose from. I love Salvias/ sages and they must have had 2 dozen to choose from. The two I bought last year have grown immensely & are ready to bloom soon. So I bought 2 different ones this time. We started out in the veggie 'hall' with a small hand carried tray -- picked up 8 different tomato plants, 6 basils, peppers, pumpkin, squash. Now we needed a wheeled cart, because we picked up lavenders, creeping thymes, a sedge, Calif fushia-- oh the list goes on and on. The staff, who are students in the program, and the cultivators of all the plants, were extremely helpful & informative... in fact a couple enjoyed talking so much we had to break it off to finish shopping & get out of the rain. All plants are lush, healthy & perfect for our region. We blew my proposed budget. Not a surprise really. For all we bought, that filled 3 large boxes, was only $52.00. And they have a fall sale that I did miss last year. So I'm looking forward to that one too. Now once the rain is over [ no hurry on that, we are loving it] we get to deal with our clay soil to get all these new treasures planted.

Staff were very helpful and super nice. As soon as I entered I was asked if I needed help.

As I was heading to check out, there was about 4 people in line at the 1 check out. Someone promptly came out and apologized for any wait and opened another check out which was hardly necessary. Very nice as I was checking out. Honestly the best service I've ever found at any store. Awesome staff. Generally the store is comfortable and I have yet to not find whatever I am looking for.

I have been calling for 7 hours to purchase in stock carpet over the phone so my workers can drive…read morean hour to pick it up! I was told by a nice salesman that they need to move back stock around so they can get it in the floor to restock and cut it! I should call back in a few hours to see if that was done. I've called back between 4-8:30 7 times I was put on hold , transferred and then was disconnected. What does it take for reasonable service? This is ridiculous for a $600+ purchase to be treated this way! I guess only game in the area you can treat customers as poorly as you want to! What a shame

I made a purchase a few days ago for something that wasn't going to work. I wasn't given a receipt,…read morewhich is my fault for walking away without getting it... but I assume since I used my debit card, I could use that to find it in the event. I need to return it. I used Apple tap to pay with a debit card that was compromised later that day. the bank canceled that card (what timing?!) so... when I went to return the item, I was turned away because I could not use the tap method. they could not find the purchase and told me that I should just "sell it on eBay" or Google our corporate phone number if that doesn't work. This was my absolute worst experience with Home Depot's customer service department EVER! I was (not) helped by a young woman named Lily. I don't know how a company would hire somebody with that terrible of customer service skills to be their on site manager. but once I raised enough chaos with other cashiers, I found another manager that was totally willing to help me? and they resolved my situation with store credit. (Amazing!) I was absolutely blown away that somebody would tell me to "sell it on eBay" as my only other option since they couldn't 'prove' that I actually purchased this item in the store. Somehow, my bank records were not enough. I knew exactly what register I bought it on, and we went to that register and looked up the history, found it, and resolved it very quickly!! ... albeit no thanks to Lily. Hanna, the other supervisor on duty for cashiers was AMAZING!!!!! So helpful, nice, and had empathy that totally refreshed my faith. What is up with the younger generation??! No social skill, empathy, or general pleasantness. Like you are being paid to help customers specifically... do the job don't patronize me. Thank you Hanna!!!! Hanna deserves 5 stars but I want this to be noticed! Hence giving one star above the lowest possible option
