After much back and forth between the employees, a manager finally tersely informed us that the marked price was incorrect and the price in the computer was what we would be charged.

The price difference was negligible but the entire interaction felt like an insult. We'd been customers for years - won't be back.

I can't recommend them enough!

Marchie's is great, and with nurseries like these, it's not difficult to see why Missoula is called…read morethe "Garden City". For the passed two summers, I have purchased veggies and flowers from Marchie's. The 1 - 3 inch veggies I purchased: various habanero, banana, and bell peppers, and the squash and tomatoes, all grew like Jack's beanstalk. The flowers I purchased didn't fare so well. The Lobella died straight away, the snapdragon did OK, and there was another orange flower that died straight away - I can't remember the name of it. I do not blame Marchie's for these flowers dying - I think a lot of that has to do with the gardener, i.e. me. The prices at Marchie's are pretty fair, and the salespeople are wonderful. They offer very helpful gardening advice and product recommendations, and are sincerely happy to be there. Judging a nursery on a 1- 5 star scale is subjective, especially based on the gardener, and that gardener's lack of green thumb. However, I feel like the strong start these plants received from the gardeners at Marchie's attribute to their success once they are in the permanently in the ground. Marchie's is a fantastic example of of a product being cared for and loved by the companies owners and employees, and thriving because of it.

Customer service at this store is terrible!! We…read more(unfortunately) had to spend over $1,200 in order to complete our latest project, and once again had to support Home Depot because other local vendors do not offer the items that are needed. It might be the fact that we do our shopping in the late hours of the day that constantly allow us to encounter the rude and plainly displayed lock of customer service the employees at this Missoula, MT Home Depot rendered! I would specifically like to shine the light on the precious lumber crew that so boldly ignored us during our trip on October 20th at 8pm. Connor and his crew watched my husband at first, and then the two of us struggle loading lumber onto our cart and literally just walk by and later just sat at the lumber isle a few feet from us. I wanted to share my experience with the person in charge. It took a few minutes to be directed to the store manager. Trying to find this person was a struggle as well.... not everyone knew where the manager was or even the manager's name (female employee at self-checkout area). In any case, found the manager at the customer service counter. Shared with him my frustration! Apparently, the customer needs to request help from the store employees. It is not "common sense" for employees to see the customer need and act on it!! He apologized and offered to talk to the lumber crew. I can only trust that the manager followed through with his offer. I truly do not expect the so important customer service to improve at this store. I will definitely shop during the day hours, maybe at that time customer service is more prominent??

Although this location is s smaller than many other Home Depot stores, they have just about anything you need, just a smaller selection in comparison to stores in larger cities. I have been coming here for 13 years, and have always preferred it over our local Lowe's. I have never had any problems finding help from employees. They have a pretty big selection of all the necessities like appliances, lawn mowers, grills, lighting, cabinetry and countertops, flooring, and much, much more. This is the only place we buy our paint and supplies because they offer both Behr and Glidden, which we prefer. In their garden department you can find landscaping supplies and in the spring and summer they carry a wide array of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals. They carry both organic and non-organic potting and garden soil as well as various sizes of pots and planters. Home Depot is always my first stop for anything "home improvement."

It's open on Saturday…read moremornings until early afternoon during the warmer months, and it's always packed with amazing local vendors and so much good food. You'll find live music, food trucks, coffee stands, pastries, meat, salmon, fresh veggies and fruit, beautiful flowers, and even fresh milk. It's the kind of place where you can come hungry and easily spend a couple of hours wandering around. It can be a little overwhelming because a lot of the vendors carry similar items, but I usually rotate through to help support as many as I can. Vendors typically prefer cash, although some do take cards, so it's smart to bring a little of both. Also bring a bag or two because it's very easy to walk away with more than you planned. The vibe is super friendly and local in the best way, and it always feels like a snapshot of what makes Missoula so special. If you're in town on a Saturday, it's definitely worth checking out.

There are various vendors here and you can find so much! They sell fresh, locally grown fruit, vegetables, and flowers. You can also find items such as honey, fresh baked pastries and bread, beauty products, clothing, and much more. Food trucks are also scattered throughout so there are plenty of options. I find that most of the prices are very reasonable, even though I never mind paying more to help support a fellow Montanan. I almost always run into someone I know, and even though the market itself is rather big, it still has a small town feel to it. Make sure to bring a bag or two with you for all the goodies you buy. Parking is free on the weekends so you don't need to rush through.
