Nurseries & Gardening in Waltham, MA

“We went to Home Depot as a class on a community trip on a Wednesday morning. It was a little busy and the trickiest part was the checkout. There were only self checkouts (around 6 maybe), and one checkout with a human. Only 1 self checkout took cash and then the employee at the check out took cash. We were shopping with cash and when it was our turn the self-checkout broke. There were a lot of lines then for people needing to pay with cash. We wished more of the self-checkouts took cash. Overall though, the store had lots of space to get around and didn't seem too crowded.

The employees were nice and helped us find things. Not only did they tell us which aisle to go to but they physically brought us to the item we were looking for. The store was clean and organized, the aisles were well labeled. It did smell a bit like a warehouse/wood working building.

There weren't any deals really, but every product we looked for had a varying amount of prices. This helped with budgeting. In terms of accessibility, the aisles were pretty big and so our friends in wheelchairs could get down them. But there were a lot things in the aisles that we had to go around. There were carts and cleaning floor machines and boxes that were being unpacked. The self checkout was accessible, a good height for someone sitting in a wheelchair to reach. There were automatic doors, so you didn't have to open them yourself, and the whole store was one floor.

At Home Depot we bought a variety of things. We bought numbers to label the house, an exit sign that had braille on it, cleaning supplies, a house plant, soil to plant some seeds we bought and bird seed. Everything was pretty well priced and easy to find.
Overall we had a very good time and got everything we needed. The only thing we wanted that they didn't sell were bird house making kits!”

“The PEOPLE at the Waltham store are great. They are helpful and informative. The guy I asked for help took me to what I was looking for. Their system said that they had over 100 of the tubing that I wanted, we could not find any. He found the guy who worked in the irrigation section who dug around and found it buried behind other stuff.”
