Home Depot Garden Club

Since gardening season is here in full swing I thought I would remind you about the Home Depot Garden Club.   

When you sign up for the garden club you get FREE access to loads of gardening information - who couldn't use a little help in that area from time to time?  If you can't find what you are looking for you can "ask the expert" and get an answer to your gardening question within 24 hours as a member. 

As a member you can also use the "outdoor journal" where you can keep track of your plant tags and refer back to them all season, you can also document your garden by uploading photos of your beauties and see their progress. 

You will have access to a searchable plant library and all sorts of plant care guides for tips to keep all those plants healthy.

The best part about the Home Depot Garden Club is that with each e-mail newsletter they send, there are coupons for gardening related items - something we don't see coupons for that often!  If you join only for the coupons it's worth it! 

Lowe's vs. The Home Depot

As I have mentioned before, I am a member of The Home Depot Garden Club.  This month I received my e-mail newsletter with an exclusive offer coupon for "buy one tree, get one tree free".  My husband is a tree hugger - he LOVES trees of all kinds.  Luckily we have 5 acres where he can plant trees to his heart's content.  When I saw this coupon I knew he would be delighted and afterall, with all the time I spend on seeking out deals why not treat him to something he really enjoys (with a coupon of course!).  We usually prefer to purchase our trees in the spring from Lowe's, we just like their prices and selection better than The Home Depot.  We decided to stop by Lowe's to check out their trees first, and since I was there I asked if they honor competitor coupons.  I am so happy that I decided to ask because it turns out that they do.  We ended up purchasing two 4-5 foot flowering pear trees for $19.98 using the coupon.  This was an awesome deal for two beautiful trees that we will enjoy every spring for many, many years to come. 

My point here is that it never hurts to ask.  Next time you see a store coupon that you think you would like to use if it were at a different store, bring that coupon to your preferred store and ask.  The worst they can do is tell you no, but at least you tried.  You might end up being pleasantly surprised!
