    The xmas part of that is insane but…

    It actually makes a lot of sense to not stock too many planters in stores in October (in North America)? You aren’t planting much outdoors because the first frost is either here or coming harder than Mariah Carey’s agent in late October. And indoors… some plants you DO start indoors but not 4-6 months ahead of time.

    Don’t get me wrong. There are still use cases. But it makes a lot of sense to take advantage of a nation-wide infrastructure for delivery or in-store pickup rather than shipping a number to every single location.

      No? Lots of outdoor planting is in September / October. Gives them time to work on their root system without too much top work. Roses, clematis all sorts of things.

      Houseplants! I wanted indoor ceramic pots. I agree it doesn’t make sense for Target to have their gardening section stocked all year but I was surprised to find literally nothing.

      Houseplants are great for winter, I just bought a new one this weekend lol
