Can I go buy plants at lowes? Or would that be a nonessential dick move?

Put in some new flower beds last fall and really wanting to get some flowers put in. But deep down I feel like I shouldnt get them given the circumstances.

I've got to go anyway though, cause I need to get some fire ant killer.

we are having the same dilemma over mulch and some plants

ETA: it sucks because our fave local nurseries are closed because I'd have less issues carefully getting items there

There are thousands of people buying plants every day at Lowes.

Yes, which is why the essential/non essential business determination by the government is fricked up.

They've left the local plant store open because they sell vegetables which have been deemed "essential". Of course they are selling all the other shite too.....


I bought tomatoes and peppers there yesterday.

We were going to do it last weekend, but when I drove to Home Depot it was packed. Like hardly any parking spots packed. Guess everyone else had the same idea. I drove on by and went home and said I'd do it another day.

Try online order with in-store pickup. In and out with practically no interaction. Worked for 2 weeks ago.

I’ve been going to hardware stores every weekend for supplies on projects. Is that not allowed?

Yes, I went for some non-plant related stuff Saturday morning and it was packed like a normal spring day, mostly in the garden area.

Go to a local nursery if you can. They probably need the business more than Lowe’s.

We're going to end up getting mulch delivered/spread by a local landscape co. since we need so much... going to see if they will drop off plants as well.

If they let you in then do what you want and buy what you can.

Do your part in helping keep this economy as healthy as you can.

When you get that HOA letter, then ask how essential it is.
