“I never thought I'd write a four star review for Walmart, but they have been improving! We go way back (see all of my previous reviews, from snarky to sincere.) I just bought a 12 pack of Made in the USA(!!!) cotton socks for $7.00 on clearance. It's very hard to find socks that are mostly cotton these days, let alone made in the USA, and for 58 cents a pair?! I have discovered new-to-me healthy food made by small businesses not sold elsewhere locally, like gluten-free almond/cashew bread (frozen section) that has no artificial additives or gums. Here are some staples my fiance and I buy, compared to a local competitor: Teddie Peanut Butter 16 oz: Hannaford: $3.39 Walmart: $2.48 Newman's Organics Pasta Sauce: Hannaford: $3.99 Walmart: $2.88 Dole Mandarin Oranges: Hannaford: $3.19 Walmart: $2.92 Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soymilk 64 oz Hannaford: $4.49 Walmart: $3.98 Polaner All Fruit: Hannaford: $2.39 Walmart: $1.98 When added up over the course of one year, we're saving about $500 on regular purchases. They have a nice selection of organic fruits and veggies. I've been able to get really good bagged organic apples there on a regular basis. When they were in season, I got bagged organic peaches that cost far less than other places. Finally, they have just completed a bit of a remodel. The floors are newly polished and they have somewhat better signage. It's very clean. I still do most of my shopping at Whole Foods/Amazon and locally owned places (like the farmer's market!), but Walmart is a great addition. Tips: The online prices are sometimes higher than in-store, like the Teddie peanut butter as an example. There is generally no one available to help you find what you're looking for, so you may have to walk down each food aisle the first time you go. I discovered this was a good thing because it's how I discovered new-to-me organic and gluten-free items. Overall customer service in the store is lacking, but once you know what you are getting it's not an issue, generally.”
“Skillins in Falmouth is such a gem. I especially love their selection of native plants. And, of course, no visit is complete without saying hello to Penny the cat, who might be the shop’s best employee.”
“Rachael and her team at Fleur De Lis made such gorgeous bouquets and spray arrangements for our church wedding! She is such a kind and knowledgeable person, and I loved getting to work with her during our wedding planning process! As someone who knows very little about wedding florals, I am so glad I had her insight. She really knows her stuff!! Thank you Rachael!”
“Shelley designed and constructed this incredible arrangement for our wedding last fall. I had a very loose vision and a general color scheme, and asked her to let her creativity take the wheel. She did such an incredible job - we got so many compliments on our florals. 10/10 ⭐”
“This will always be one of my favorite places. Friendly staff, easy to find what I am looking for (and more!). Plants almost always look well cared for, even during heatwaves.”
“A HUGE thank you to John at the Plant Office for our wedding florals. From the moment we first spoke on the phone it was clear that John 100% understood my vision and was so on board to make this happen in my small budget. He was easy to communicate with and the whole process was a breeze. Our flowers turned out better than I imagined and he perfectly captured the dark whimsical vibe I was after.”
“Top notch plant nursery that has such knowledgable and friendly staff. If you are searching for any plant ranging from small all the way to trees this is the number spot for you! You could easily spend hours upon hours going through rows and rows of plants. Common to uncommon you will find plants you love! A must visit!”
“This place is a hidden gem! We are wanted a floral bouquet for a friend and we are from out of town.
We walked and we were greeted by a beautiful family and gorgeous cats. They were beyond helpful and created an amazing bouquet and quickly. Highly recommend”
“Charlene in garden is a sweetheart. Andy is also helpful & friendly.Peter Wells is the Man Cool & knowledgebase of H.D.-GARDEN.AWESOME GRILL ASSEMBLY CREW of garden area.Solid and well built Grillzllc.”
“Rob Moody and his crew including John, Dan, and Colby are just the best at hardscaping design there could ever be. Phenomenal workmanship, work ethic, and professionalism. Extremely impressive. Our house was hit badly by the “astronomical storm of the century” in January 2024. We’ve had extensive work done since and this crew is just amazing.”
“Rented a nice van to move our scooters to the the repair shop! Easy AF, nice people! Van was clean, got respectable gas mileage, and was a comfortable to drive. Highly recommend!!!”
“Give Rick in the lumber department a raise!!!! He was so helpful and kind, I needed a few pieces of wood cut and he helped me choose the right types and cut it for me.”
“Ah well. If you can navigate past all the stock in the aisles you might find what you’re looking for. Helpful staff. Shame the electrical cable is simpler to buy on Amazon now with all the cages”
“I placed an order on a Saturday not realizing it was too late for a same-day delivery, but they called to let me know that they could squeeze in the delivery for us that day! They also let me know the arrangement would be slightly different than what was pictured online which was no problem at all and it was beautiful. Thank you!”
