Went to the garden center this morning. Asked for special help and got it with no problems. Jonathan and Cassandra were awesome helping me out. Best service ever!

The store isles are narrow to maximize the amount amount of tools and materials that they stock. Ouellette's does have a nice "local hardware store" feel that you will not get at the chain store.
