Nurseries & Gardening in Columbia, SC

“Beautiful nursery with very helpful people. We are new to an area and received guidance on planting vegetables, flowers, soil. Great selection and everyone is welcoming. Good quality plants. Easy parking.”

“Monroe's is my 1st and only choice to purchase chain saws, string & brush trimmers plus chains, fuel, parts, repairs, advice and more! I work out near McEntire ANG but the drive into Columbia on Jackson Blvd. is no problem as I know they can get me back working again. Give them a try and you will keep going back.”

“Big shout out to my girl MelG. She and Hope got me set up with the NEW!? pro account and entered me in the pro week raffle. It’s not just this week. These ladies are helping people, they’re helping people on the daily with all their home improvement needs. Much love ladies do your thing”

“Love this place. Driven past here so many times not realizing how nice it was and finally went in recently and bought some beautiful plants. They are kind of hidden back off the main road (Parklane Rd), so look for their sign in front of an older brick house. Jared and Ethan were incredibly kind and helpful. They delivered our clean pine straw with very few twigs or pine cones and planted a beautiful palm tree at our home. It’s looking great! I love the way they have their plants somewhat protected and shaded by trees. It’s not like any nursery I’ve ever been to. Quite unique. I highly recommend giving them a try.”

“If you’ve ever tackled a weekend project in the Columbia area, there’s a good chance your journey started, or ended, at Home Depot on Harbison Boulevard. This location has become a reliable anchor for homeowners, contractors, and ambitious DIYers navigating one of the Midlands’ busiest retail corridors.

The Harbison Home Depot sits in an area that has long been a hub of growth and commerce. What was once largely wooded land near the Broad River transformed in the late 20th century into one of Columbia’s most active shopping districts. In many ways, this store reflects that evolution: practical, well-established, and built to support a growing community that’s constantly fixing, building, and improving.

Inside, the store is spacious, clean, and well-organized for a box store of its size. Lumber, plumbing, electrical, and garden sections are clearly laid out, making it easy to move from idea to materials without wandering aimlessly. Inventory is typically strong, and the shelves stay well-stocked even during peak seasons, whether it’s hurricane prep, spring planting, or that sudden “I can finish this today” home repair.

What really elevates this Home Depot is the staff. Associates are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely willing to help you solve problems, not just point down an aisle and disappear. Whether you’re figuring out the right size breaker, matching paint from a mystery sample, or debating between mulch options, there’s usually someone nearby who knows their stuff and doesn’t mind taking a minute to explain it.

The garden center is another highlight, especially for locals who know how quickly Midlands weather can swing. Plants are well cared for, seasonal selections rotate regularly, and it’s a solid stop for both serious landscapers and casual backyard gardeners.

Practical touches make the experience smoother: easy parking, efficient checkout, and a location that’s convenient to I-26 and surrounding neighborhoods. It’s the kind of store where you can run in for one item—and yes, occasionally leave with five—but still feel like the trip was productive.

In short, Home Depot Harbison does exactly what a great box store should do: provide the tools, materials, and guidance people need to keep homes and businesses moving forward. It’s dependable, well-run, and firmly rooted in the fabric of the Harbison community, just like the projects it helps bring to life.”
